CRS125 ssh problem

Hi

Just bought a new CRS125 to test it in my client’s company. It looks like everything is okay except for a starge trouble with ssh to the router.

I use ethernet ports from 2 to 24 as a LAN switch and ethernet 1 as a gateway port to ISP. A config is very simple, few filter rules (drop on ssh bruteforce), few dnat rules, pptp-client connection, bridge (ethernet2 as masterport+wireless) and dhcp server. No mange, no queues, no VLANs and stuff like that in this config.

The exactly the same config (except for ethernet port amount of course) is running great on 17 RB951 and 4 RB450 in my other client companies.

The problem is wierd and I can’t find what am I doing wrong:

I can access the router by ssh only from ethernet 2 to 24 and via pptp tunnel. And I have NO filter rules or any other rules that may cause such.

When I try to connect from the internet sniffer shows that I get packets on ether1 to dst-port 22 and that router answers this packets but nothing happens.

When I disable firewall filter rules 3,4,5,6,7,8,9 nothing changes. I still see packets coming ether1 and still nothing.

Filter rules 8 and 9 aren’t logging anything when I connect from the internet. Rule 8 is logging ssh connection from LAN and pptp tunnel (I intentionally did not specified dst-adress).

I don’t really believe in Mikrotik ssh bugs, so tell me what I did wrong with this RB.
