Feature Request: IP address aliases

Tue Apr 25, 2023 2:14 am

In complex configs it would be beneficial if RouterOS could support names for IP addresses rather than bare IPs. While address lists is a similar feature, it doesn't address the all-too-common scenario where only a single address is allowed (and expected!). My current use case would include assigning IPs in DHCP and using them in very narrow firewall rules (e.g. in NAT).
While in some places address lists can be used, this is also introducing a performance penalty + adding 30 address lists creates a mess.

I saw other users asking about that before, but in a wider scope:

I use address lists as IP-aliases or "host objects" in firewall.

As it should normally be done.
