The official Mikrotik router thread

Oh right I’m with you now.

Unlikely to find a single unit that does both.

Maybe need to buy two to cover both areas. 48V ones are quite rare to start with.

yes im going to need 2. I already have 1 powering the ONT (12v). Its the gizzu dual dc and can only output 12v.

so i think my best bet is to then sell this one and get 12 units. one for 48v poe and another for 24v dc.

a schlep but will see if i can flog it to my tenant.
 
And choose all service ports option.

Are you referring to the open ports? Or anything else. Any tips to secure the router?

I did do a new configuration with no defaults.
Any reason not to use the default config? the default filter rules are pretty good, by default incoming is blocked and include rules to block invalid packetc etc

No particular reason. Likely due to a tutorial I was following at the time. I'm sure I can add those rules afterwards?

Not sure I want to go through the entire setup again..

Think I found them on the mikrotik forum

NB make sure your lan interfaces (bridge 1 & 2 in your case) are added to the LAN interface list or you will be locked out, and your isp interface is added to the WAN interface list

Enable safe mode on the router while changing these so that if it locks you out you can just reboot the router to undo the changes, remember to turn safe mode off to save once its working

/ip firewall filter
add chain=input action=accept connection-state=established,related,untracked comment="defconf: accept established,related,untracked"
add chain=input action=drop connection-state=invalid comment="defconf: drop invalid"

thanks! will do so.

I disabled port 21,22,23 (SSH, Telnet, ftp) from IP services. i saw logon failures from unknown ip's via telnet.

Where do i do this "NB make sure your lan interfaces (bridge 1 & 2 in your case) are added to the LAN interface list or you will be locked out, and your isp interface is added to the WAN interface list"
 
Nadisa, you need to essentially create your firewall rules until that simple test passes, all green blocks. Your Winbox service you need to allow access only from your LAN IP range.

The admin user account. Create another user account and grant it full or admin access then disable the old standard admin account. This new user account also should be specified to only login from local LAN IP range.

It looks like you wanting to learn so keep at it until those tests pass.

Winbox port allowed from local ip range - done
new user added with full access, default admin user removed - allowed from local IP range.

now to do some more reading on securing more for those tests..
 
Just for now, all the other services I would disable also. Just for now. Just leave Winbox enabled.
