I have been watching lots of videos on RouterOS configurations and have been reading documentation (the quality of the documentation is incredible, but things are still sinking in due to the learning curve).
I am trying to understand granting inter-VLAN access between specific IPs, and seem to be missing something. I want to allow my laptop (assigned 192.168.50.26) to access my switch configuration via WinBox (assigned 192.168.99.2)
Configuration Overview:
Router - CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS
Switch - CRS310-8G+2S+
The router is connected to the switch using a VLAN trunk port. The bridge VLANs in question here are:
- Infrastructure: PVID 99
- Trusted: PVID 50
Interface VLANs:
- Infrasstructure: PVID 99, DHCP Server assigns addresses in the range 192.168.99.1/24.
- Trusted: PVID 50, DHCP Server assigns addresses in the range 192.168.50.1/24.
The router is assigned the ip 192.168.99.1.
A bridge exists that has the VLANs above defined and they tag the bridge (IPs are given out to each interface-defined VLAN), and the port interface being used as an uplink to the switch. The bridge has 'vlan filtering' enabled.
Since the ports are all connected to the same bridge, my understanding is that they can communicate with each other by default since they are combined as a single 'bridge' interface.
The switch also has a bridge and bridge vlans defined. The vlans have the router uplink port interface tagged, as well as another vlan trunk port that connects to a wifi access point.
The switch is assigned the ip 192.168.99.2.
My router firewall is set up to have an input and forward drop catch-all at the bottom of the filter list.
I have a firewall rule to drop all inter-VLAN traffic:
Code: Select all
add action=drop chain=forward comment="Drop all inter-VLAN traffic" \
in-interface-list=ALL_VLANS log=yes log-prefix="Dropped by inter-vlan" \
out-interface-list=ALL_VLANSBut right before that inter-VLAN drop all rule, I have this rule to specifically allow traffic between my laptop:
Code: Select all
add action=accept chain=forward \
dst-address=192.168.99.2 \
src-address=192.168.50.26When I try to connect to WinBox, I hang on the "Connecting to 192.168.99.2..." page, and it does not progress. When I look at the firewall filter rules tab in the router, I see that the ip-specific 'accept' rule defined above increases the Bytes/Packets numbers while this connection is trying to be made. The same thing happens when I run 'ping 192.168.99.2' from my laptop.
When I run 'tracepath 192.168.99.2' from my laptop, I get the following:
Code: Select all
1?: [LOCALHOST] pmtu 1500
1: _gateway 8.447ms
1: _gateway 2.106ms
2: no reply
3: no replyMy confusion is why is it 'accepted' traffic, but the connection is not established.
If anyone can give pointers or correct my incorrect assumptions, that would be great!
Please let me know if I can provide any additional information.
I will include the output from 'export file=FILENAME' below for both the router and switch.
