RB433 as a routing firewall (no NAT'ing)

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi all,

I’ve convinced the boss to buy some Mikrotik units to replace an aging MS ISA server, but am having some trouble with the config. Basically, I want to use the Mikrotik to route between two different (both private network addressed) networks, blocking all traffic except the stuff I want to allow through.

eg:
NET-A: 192.168.44.0/24
NET-B: 192.168.45.0/24

The only way I can make it work is if I set up a bridge between the two (with IP firewall enabled). Is this the only way to do it? Is there a better (as in best practise) way to do it?

Cheers!

hmm… never mind. Have reset to default config and now it’ll work without bridging.
