For cleanup reasons i want to start from scratch and i used winbox and “Reset Configuration” Menue.
After the reboot i connected again (via MAC Adress) and acknowledged the initial script execution.
Which resulted in just configuring the SRC-NAT and the IP of the router.
Then i tried QuickSet, but also no success. Mmmh. Is in our days no default FW config deployed ?
These are both devices from “pro” line and come with blank default firewall filters. It is somehow expected that these powerful units won’t run simple SOHO networks and a knowledgeable admin will know better than defaults.
I suggest you to get any of “toy” Mikrotiks and execute /system default-configuration print in a really wide terminal window. Scroll down to /ip firewall section and copy-paste config into your pro devices.
Do you think I couldn’t post this? But that’s a rotten favour to OP: defaults evolve and admin, operating “pro” router, should have a smaller “lab” unit handy … any mikrotik costing 30 euro will do. And that’s my main message to owners of “pro” line of routers: invest a few percent of base investment into lab installation. It’ll make your life much easier this way or another.
hey mks dont take it personally, I am actually quite impressed by a script solution, I would have only passed on the firewall rules myself so call me a bad name!!
I get your point though that the OP should be able to make up the config from scratch if a business IT type.
I have done it enough times as a homeowner.
I’m not. The thing is that I was trying to teach OP how to catch fish. But then somebody came by and dropped lots of fish.
And the problem is that in a few years time somebody will stumble upon this post and take the config … but at that time we might have a much better default FW ruleset in then current ROS v7.6. … the very same problem as we see with various tutorials on 3rd party platforms (e.g. youtube) … even if they are correct, they still get outdated but people are still using them. One can’t make tutorial without posting the full story, but answer to some concrete question can be without wanted details if that helps person asking solve the problem and is future proof.
HI
the question in the direction if this has been detected by anybody else as i didnt see this in former releases.
And it doesnt matter what type of HW im using. This is about the SW.
In my history i have always cleaned up any device before usage. Only this ensures that you really know what is on the box.
Thanks Dude2048. I assume this script should be there on all devices.
Taking mkx statement i assume he will never drive a Porsche as he is not a professional race driver. Im so sorry for you.
Your comparison is IMHO not right. The right comparison would go like this: how would a person, only ever driving a Tesla model X, handle a 1963 Porsche 911?
Because lack of default config has nothing to do with speed, rather it’s about ease of handling of device.
I can see @OP is somehow offended by my (failed?) attempt of teaching him how to catch the fish, so I’ll bail out now.
