Filtering traffic between two ports

Wed Oct 15, 2014 5:42 pm

Hi all,
I want to connect ether1 to ether5 like a bridge so that everything can go about business as usual but i want to add in some filter rules to drop certain traffic.
The device im using is an RB750 and it works 100% when used as a gateway but i see you cant use in and out matcher interface when bridging. Is there another way? I have a few layer 7 filters to kill streaming and content filters mostly to drop a few specific sites.

Can this even be done?

many thanks

You can switch on firewall on bridge. But expect not so good performance.
Anyway such rules don't seem to be bridge relevant for me.

Lol yeah i get that from using it ;)
Are there any rules that you might recommend in a bridge situation to filter out web address/content?
I would do it any other way but the setup has an Active directory and some pretty fussy software that doesnt play well with the hotspot.
At the moment i have it setup to be either on or off the issue is certain individuals may need unrestricted access ;/
