Re: How to perform thorough data link filtering?

Bridge Filter doesn't specify what is filters. For example, your NAT firewall filter can be set to allow exclusively TCP and UDP traffic, but LLDP (data link layer) frames are not going to be filtered, even when bridge filtering is enabled. LLDP and similar frames are controlled by "Discovery&q...

Re: Ether1 (NetInstall) port - danger for WAN?

I have all the updates and RouterBOARD upgrade and this is the best router money can buy. For $200 it beats anything out there. I wish I was a professional reviewer with credibility to write a review of this beautiful device, but my posts show I don't know enough about networking. Back to topic - ye...

Re: Ether1 (NetInstall) port - danger for WAN?

Ether1 is default WAN port and is also default NetInstall port. Using such defaults allows us of NetInstall through WAN port. That means use of NetInstall of WAN. That's an issue for sure.

Ether1 (NetInstall) port - danger for WAN?

I am looking through NetInstall documentation for Chateau Pro AX and by default it uses ether1 port, which is also default WAN port. Of course I can change WAN port to anything else, but is it not a bad idea to let NetInstall port = WAN port by default? Doesn't that make router vulnerible to attacks...

How to perform thorough data link filtering?

MikroTik Chateau Pro AX has options for bridge filtering, which I assume, are either similar to Netfilter EBTables or is based on Netfilter EBTables. In GUI I can restrict protocols to TCP/UDP (via NAT Firewall), enable/disable ARP (via bridge and port settings/options), enable/disable LLDP (and sim...

Re: 802.1AE MACsec Progress or Examples ?

Slightly off-topic, but where can one purchase Ethernet card/adapters/NIC's for consumer PC's? AFAIK MACSec is not open-source and is rare in non-enterprise enivronments.

Support for safe time retrieval is needed!

Some encryption is better than none most of the time. DNS is one of the easiest protocols to attack if not encrypted, but MikroTik already supports DNS-over-HTTPS. That leaves safe time retrieval as the next problem. MikroTik supports NTP, but that's about it. There are safer ways to retreive time. ...

Just some general questions

Still loving my MikroTik Chateau Pro AX and have some questions about it: - Where is the Gratuitous ARP option? I saw it once, but then lost it. I want to disable that completely and only allow 2 ARP types - request and reply. This is mostly because some clients, such as Apple TV, impersonate other ...

Re: Won't connect without DHCP...?

Still a no-go. I set permanent ARP in both - router and Windows, but the same thing happens. Windows shows packets are sent, but none received. Router shows packets are received, but none sent back. Maybe this is a bug. I've never had this issue with other routers. I think developers should look int...

Won't connect without DHCP...?

So far I love Chateau AX Pro big time, but it has a downside that makes maintenance very difficult. I always use static IP addresses + ARP for LAN/Ethernet devices with very strict firewall rules. I disable DHCP in Windows services and block broadcast packets in both directions. The problem is that ...

Re: Do AP's come with all router functions?

Would clients running WireGuard (such as Windows clients running official WireGuard NT) be able to pull 700-800Mbps on Chateau AX Pro? I don't expect such throughput when running WireGuard on router itself, but fast PC's with WireGuard NT should be able to achieve such throughput. Well, if WG is ru...
