I see a lot of places where I use various networks, for instance these:
Is it possible to give these a (descriptive) alias
That will make specifying the allow for services and graphs a lot more readable.

The only thing I can think of is adding a comment to the address space.
Where would I add that comment in the “/ip service” list?
(That’s one of the places I have an extensive set of network addresses).
Really? IP service would be for ports / protocols, not IPs…
You should have your networks under IP addresses…
Really:
This besides what I have under /IP/addresses:
There will be firewall rules too…

Putting a range on ip services (and snmp communities) is a quick way to limit access to the admin features
to a single or a few networks, but when you want long lists like that it is probably better to use the firewall filter
for “input”, where you can use an ip address list, which can contain elements with comment.
“input” is only used for access to the router itself (admin, services like DNS running on the router), so it is easy
to keep the filter separate from “forward” which is the routed traffic which will have less limitations.
I’m relatively new on Mikrotik stuff, so these kinds of answers are very valuable to me.
Thanks a lot!
