MAC Telnet server Only by Interface list? [solved]

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

While configuring / hardening my router I'm following the latest manual, the page 21 cover:

MAC Connectivity Access

MAC Telnet is used to provide access to a router that has no IP address set. It works just like IP telnet. MAC telnet is possible between two MikroTik RouterOS routers only.

By default, the MAC server runs on all interfaces

source: Manual

ok, so as recommended, it's a good idea to limit this on the interface we want.
is there a way to set directly an interface for example Bridge that already combine few physical interfaces. instead of passing by an additional layer (Interface list) ?

Thanks.

You can make a dedicated interface list with only bridge in it and use that one.

But directly an interface, that will not work, I think.

Yep. According to the current logic, if you want to specify single interface, you have to create an interface list with only that as the member.

I think it’s good practice to have a MAC-MGMT interface list anyway for clarity.

An interface can be a member of multiple interface lists.

Thanks @lurker888 and @holvoetn

when you don’t have a complex setup I think be able to point directly an interface is faster and more readable/digest..

I understand but that’s not possible as it is now.
So use interface list or don’t.

Your choice.
