Shortcut for All Local Interface??

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I want to configure this http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/NetworkPro_on_firewalling

/ ip firewall filter
add chain=forward in-interface=Local out-interface=Local action=accept comment="Allow traffic between clients"

but i have 9 local interface. So, instead of creating rule for every Local interface what i can use?

Thanks

you can use address ranges instead of in and out interfaces.

You can use a script to automate creating the rules:

:foreach i in=[/interface find] do={
  /ip firewall filter add chain=forward in-interface=[/interface get $i name] out-interface=[/interface get $i name] comment="Local interface forwarding"
}

there is a shortcut. Use src-address-type= and dst-address-type= LOCAL, and leave in-interface and out-interface blank.

but how router will identify local traffic?

src-address-type=local and dst-address-type=local is for traffic going to/from any IPs of the router itself not forwarding traffic between clients “through” the router.
