hi ,
I want to know that the configuration through winbox, in the some the place small box is there which was marked in the attachment- what was the use of it?
wht is difference if it’s checked or not checked?
checked means “not” or “everything except this”
Hi,
So If i made in the action “accept” & made this check mark
This action will work only which mentioned ? am i right?
i will explain clearway:
I am writing one rule in the IP → Firewall ->New Firewall rule
1.General Tab :
Chain : input, Protocol : 6(tcp), Dst.Port :21,22,23,80,443,8291,8080
2.Advanced Tab:
Src. Address List : checked the box(means box selected mark) & selected the management servers(which was created in the Addresslist)
3.Action:
accept
what was the meaning for the above comment?
The ports only available for the Management server or The ports not available for the management server?
neither. this rule will accept the mentioned ports for all IPs that are not listed in “management servers” list.
So ur coming to say it won’t accept which was mentioned in management server,
If i want to accept only management servers then i have to uncheck the box - am i right?
yes, uncheck box if you want this rule to affect management servers.
Hi,
First of all thanks for replays!!!
I want to give the access only to management servers(other IP’s should not be allowed) then i have give the drop comment or only unchecking this box is enough!!!
firewall by default accepts everything, so to make sure the only favored stuff gets through you accept everything you want, and then and it with drop rule that drops everything.
something like this at the end:
/ip firewall filter chain=input acton=drop
huge caution, add this rule only when you accept related/established connections, and network from where you are. or just enable safe mode, that will revert last changes to restore connectivity to the router.
