Winbox and firewall [Solved]

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi,

I use F-secure firewall on Windows. When enabled, Winbox wouldn’t discover any devices in my LAN (on ‘Neighbors’ tab)
Can anybody tell me what protocol / port should I open to be able to use the discovery mode?
I don’t want to disable firewall every time…

F-Secure shouldnt be blocking winbox but if it does… Winbox port is setup by the admin under IP Services (default which nobody should use is 8291).

It should be MNDP (MikroTik’s discovery protocol), which is udp broadcast from :5678 to 255.255.255.255:5678.

Thank you. Seems to be working. :slight_smile:
