PropertyDescription
action (action name; Default: accept)Action to take if a packet is matched by the rule:
  • accept - accept the packet. A packet is not passed to the next firewall rule.
  • add-dst-to-address-list - add destination address to address list specified by address-list parameter
  • add-src-to-address-list - add source address to address list specified by address-list parameter
  • change-dscp - change Differentiated Services Code Point (DSCP) field value specified by the new-dscp parameter
  • change-mss - change Maximum Segment Size field value of the packet to a value specified by the new-mss parameter
  • change-ttl - change Time to Live field value of the packet to a value specified by the new-ttl parameter
  • clear-df - clear 'Do Not Fragment' Flag
  • fasttrack-connection - shows fasttrack counters, useful for statistics
  • jump - jump to the user-defined chain specified by the value of jump-target parameter
  • log - add a message to the system log containing the following data: in-interface, out-interface, src-mac, protocol, src-ip:port->dst-ip:port and length of the packet. After a packet is matched it is passed to the next rule in the list, similar as passthrough
  • mark-connection - place a mark specified by the new-connection-mark parameter on the entire connection that matches the rule
  • mark-packet - place a mark specified by the new-packet-mark parameter on a packet that matches the rule
  • mark-routing - place a mark specified by the new-routing-mark parameter on a packet. This kind of marks is used for policy routing purposes only
  • passthrough - if a packet is matched by the rule, increase counter and go to next rule (useful for statistics).
  • return - pass control back to the chain from where the jump took place
  • route - forces packets to a specific gateway IP by ignoring normal routing decision (prerouting chain only)
  • set-priority - set priority specified by the new-priority parameter on the packets sent out through a link that is capable of transporting priority (VLAN or WMM-enabled wireless interface). Read more
  • sniff-pc - send a packet to a remote RouterOS CALEA server.
  • sniff-tzsp - send a packet to a remote TZSP compatible system (such as Wireshark). Set remote target with sniff-target and sniff-target-port parameters (Wireshark recommends port 37008)
  • strip-ipv4-options - strip IPv4 option fields from IP header, the action does not actually remove IPv4 options but rather replaces all option octets with NOP, further matcher with ipv4-options=any will still match the packet.
address-list (string; Default: )Name of the address list to be used. Applicable if action is add-dst-to-address-list or add-src-to-address-list
address-list-timeout (none-dynamic | none-static | time; Default: none-dynamic)Time interval after which the address will be removed from the address list specified by address-list parameter. Used in conjunction with add-dst-to-address-list or add-src-to-address-list actions
  • Value of none-dynamic (00:00:00) will leave the address in the address list till reboot
  • Value of none-static will leave the address in the address list forever and will be included in configuration export/backup
chain (name; Default: )Specifies to which chain the rule will be added. If the input does not match the name of an already defined chain, a new chain will be created
comment (string; Default: )Descriptive comment for the rule.
connection-bytes (integer-integer; Default: )Matches packets only if a given amount of bytes has been transferred through the particular connection. 0 - means infinity, for example connection-bytes=2000000-0 means that the rule matches if more than 2MB (upload and download) has been transferred through the relevant connection
connection-limit (integer,netmask; Default: )Matches connections per address or address block after a given value is reached
connection-mark (no-mark | string; Default: )Matches packets marked via mangle facility with particular connection mark. If no-mark is set, the rule will match any unmarked connection.
connection-nat-state (srcnat | dstnat; Default: )Can match connections that are srcnatted, dstnatted, or both. Note that connection-state=related connections connection-nat-state is determined by the direction of the first packet. and if connection tracking needs to use dst-nat to deliver this connection to the same hosts as the main connection it will be in connection-nat-state=dstnat even if there are no dst-nat rules at all.
connection-rate (Integer 0..4294967295; Default: )Connection Rate is a firewall matcher that allows the capture of traffic based on the present speed of the connection.
connection-state (established | invalid | new | related; Default: )Interprets the connection tracking analytics data for a particular packet:
  • established - a packet that belongs to an existing connection
  • invalid - a packet that does not have a determined state in connection tracking (usually - severe out-of-order packets, packets with wrong sequence/ack number, or in case of a resource over usage on a router), for this reason, invalid packet will not participate in NAT (as only connection-state=new packets do), and will still contain original source IP address when routed. We strongly suggest dropping all connection-state=invalid packets in firewall filter forward and input chains
  • new - the packet has started a new connection, or otherwise associated with a connection that has not seen packets in both directions
  • related - a packet that is related to, but not parts of an existing connection, such as ICMP errors or a packet that begins FTP data connection
  • untracked - packet which was set to bypass connection tracking in Firewall RAW tables.
connection-type (ftp | h323 | irc | pptp | quake3 | sip | tftp; Default: )Matches packets from related connections based on information from their connection tracking helpers. A relevant connection helper must be enabled under: /ip firewall service-port

dst-limit (integer[/time],integer,dst-address | dst-port | src-address[/time]; Default: )Matches packets until a given PPS limit is exceeded. As opposed to the limit matcher, every destination IP address/destination port has its own limit. Parameters are written in the following format: count[/time],burst,mode[/expire].

  • auth - matches authenticated HotSpot client packets
  • from-client - matches packets that are coming from the HotSpot client

ipsec-policy (in | out, ipsec | none; Default: )Matches the policy used by IpSec. Value is written in the following format: direction, policy. The direction is Used to select whether to match the policy used for decapsulation or the policy that will be used for encapsulation.
  • in - valid in the PREROUTING, INPUT, and FORWARD chains
  • out - valid in the POSTROUTING, OUTPUT, and FORWARD chains
  • ipsec - matches if the packet is subject to IpSec processing;
  • none - matches packet that is not subject to IpSec processing (for example, IpSec transport packet).

For example, if a router receives an IPsec encapsulated Gre packet, then rule ipsec-policy=in,ipsec will match Gre packet, but a rule ipsec-policy=in,none will match the ESP packet.
