So New! Making new rules via code.

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

I keep seeing rules being typed out as such:

/ip firewall filter add action=drop chain=input dst-port=80 in-interface=wlan1 protocol=tcp

Yet even in the browser interface or Winbox I do not see a place to input this code to automate the set up of new rules. I am attempting to open ports to allow outside access from a security company to monitor our on site IP Cameras.

I might have jumped way over my head in this regard going from a home router with a clickable GUI to a business router that, honestly, just baffles me.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello,

if you are in winbox, click on “New Terminal”.

This will open up a terminal window into which you can type the commands you have shown.

You can try the same in webfig but sometimes the terminal is blocked by your browser. Better to use winbox.

Thank you sir, that really helps.

Would you know the command string to open specific ports to a specific IP to allow outside monitoring of an IP device?
