What’s Mikrotik’s tool analogous to Cisco’s Packet Tracer?
I need to be able to tell where a particular packet is dropped/changed/redirected inside of RouterOS: around ACL, NAT, IPSec, routing etc.
Here is how this looks like in Cisco, a GUI tool is used to show the complete path that a simulated packet takes inside of Cisco ASA OS:
Not analogous but best is: reading, understanding, learning, practicing and a lot of Wireshark
I see, what a pity nothing has changed since 2012.
Thanks for the reply.
An interesting thing would be if TRACE target from iptables could be integrated in RouterOS. I have to admit that I’ve never actually tested it myself yet, I have it in TODO list for at least a year already, but from examples online it looks very useful. It’s for real packets, not simulated ones. And even though one can get almost the same functionality by manually adding bunch of logging rules to various chains, it would make things much easier if it could be done using just one rule.
