firewall rules

RouterOS General
1

hi
i am using routeros and its firewall, and i want to ask how firewall acts when i define two rules, one permit another deny same traffic
which rule will routeros use?
like in iptables: deny rule have more “cost” (dont know how to say different way)
like in cisco ACL: rule which first match packet is used and other ignored?

It works like iptables, but you’re mistaken on how iptables works.

First match in that chain takes and no further rules are evaluated unless passthrough is set to yes.
