I use several network appliances in the network to do what Mikrotik can't or just is too cumbersome to do, I'm sure it'll get easier with time and some of these will disappear.
Meanwhile though, I have this devices chained routing from one to the next and I'd like to reorganize this into a pseudo star topology with Mikrotik in the center so it has visibility into every hop the traffic makes from devices to device. I can't just connect everything like that because all traffic would exit to the default route. My inbound interfaces for IPv4 and IPv6 are tunneled, for instance; there's no chance traffic would exit back the same way because they're not supposed to be default routes.
Reading up the docs I found out that this information is in the Forwarding Information Base but I guess it's more like a concept than an actual thing in Winbox but I did find this:
Is that the correct place to assign gateways per interface?
If it is, if traffic not coming from the set default gateway for an interface or source range of addresses, would a route back would still be created or would it try to route over the default gateway too??
Thanks!
