Unable to remote access Routerboard

Hello,

I am having trouble remotely accessing our routerboard. The unit is setup as a transparent bridge, and the IP assigned to the bridge can only be accessed if you are physically connected to the routerboard, or connected to the same switch the routerboard is attached too. I setup the firewall rules to allow access from the internal subnet range of the bridge interface, as well as access from a specific IP block on our network, outside of the network. The unit is acting as a bridge, so there is not NAT, or any routing taking place.

I think it is a simple firewall rule, but I cant figure it out.

Also, is there a way to setup a rule to only allow access from specific host, and not an entire subnet?

Thanks,

Jesse

  1. post your firewall configuration export here,
    ‘/ip firewall filter export’

  2. to allow certain host, ‘/ ip firewall filter add action=accept chain=input src-address=1.1.1.1’

I removed all the firewall rules I had in place, excpet a P2P drop rule. I only need access from one IP address, and I tried the command you posted, but I do not have the option to setup a “filter” after the /ip firewall command.

/ ip firewall

tcp-time-wait-timeout=2m tcp-close-timeout=10s udp-timeout=30s
udp-stream-timeout=3m icmp-timeout=30s generic-timeout=10m

Have you entered default route?

I do not know how to do this. I am not sure what the deal is.. All I did was follow the instructions for setting up a transparent bridge, and dropping all P2P traffic.

Can you tell me how to add the default route?

Thanks,

Jesse
