I am having trouble typing in the following text at the command line that I copied off of the wiki:

[admin@MikroTik] ip firewall mangle> add src-address=10.0.0.0/24 mark-flow=p2p-out \
\... p2p=all-p2p action=passthrough
[admin@MikroTik] ip firewall mangle> add dst-address=10.0.0.0/24 mark-flow=p2p-in \
\... p2p=all-p2p action=passthrough
[admin@MikroTik] ip firewall mangle>

I can change into ip/firewall/mangle no problem.

When I type in the command I get a red block on the letter m on mark. What is the exact text I would type in at the command line? the \ and ... confuse me. (Yes I'm new at this) Also is there any guide or tips when it comes to typing at the command line?

There is no such parameter as "mark-flow"
List of available parameters can be found in manual

I guess the manual is wrong then.

Look at the version number in that URL. Are you running that version?

The manual is for RouterOS v2.8 that was released at least 5 years ago. You are probably using v4.12

Manual is here:

Ah, like I say, still learning. But I did get it figured out and working with your help, Thanks,

You can also hit tab twice to see all available options in your current menu. Also you can enter in a '?' to see available commands and a brief explanation.
