I think this section should be the right place for my question.
mikrotik os x86 is installed on the minipc. the interface list section is “unknown”. but i known it is “wan/lan” on the original routerboard.
the situation is the same for all three different minipc’s. is this a hardware or software problem? how can we fix it? thanks.
Note: Mikrotik OS is licensed.
I am not sure to understand.
Normally the default configuration of Mikrotik devices of the SOHO series is - though basic - rather complete, while the configuration on professional devices is (so I read) almost inexistent.
You are talking of the CHR, right?
I was just playing with a CHR in a virtual machine ( to find ways to boot the image in different ways), and I just checked, as expected the configuration is almost empty if you run:
/export
and completely empty if you run:
/interface list export
but if you run:
/interface list print
or:
/interface list export verbose
you find the default entries, all/none/dynamic/static that are “built-in”
A default configuration on a SoHo device will have added:
/interface list
add comment=defconf name=WAN
add comment=defconf name=LAN
I am a beginner user. I don't know what you mean by chr. The commands are as follows:
interface list export
interface list print
Flags: * - BUILTIN
Columns: NAME
interface list export verbose
/interface list
set [ find name=all ] comment="contains all interfaces" exclude="" include="" name=all
set [ find name=none ] comment="contains no interfaces" exclude="" include="" name=none
set [ find name=dynamic ] comment="contains dynamic interfaces" exclude="" include="" name=dynamic
set [ find name=static ] comment="contains static interfaces" exclude="" include="" name=static
When I wanted to create a security rule, I could not see the WAN option. Is this a problem? Can we ignore it?
(The last two commands worked. thanks)
CHR is Mikrotik Cloud Hosted Router.
It is more or less the same that you have, but intended to be run in a Virtual Machine, so I assume it has the same non-configuration.
I don’t know if it’s the same thing. I have a situation like this for x86:
files/files list/cloud backup: ERROR: Cloud services not supported on x86
Is it necessary to use the WAN section that appears in the firewall configuration list? I configured a firewall via pppoe, in a clumsy way. It seems not bad. I also discovered this. When you update the OS, the settings change. Maybe I need to restore the backup. I guessed it when I installed the latest version. When I update the OS, there are changes in my configuration. I made manual corrections in the last update. Okay, thanks again for those commands.
The strength of lists Is that the default firewall (again on soho devices) Is based on those categories (LAN/WAN) so you can easily add to the two categories the wanted interfaces without ever needing to modify firewall filters (and also NAT).
Home made and - with all due respect - half baked firewall rules put together by a non expert are risky, they could easily be too open or too strict.
I would suggest you to search on the forum a posted default configuration of a Soho device and use those firewall rules, at least at first.
