I have a RouterOS box set up to bridge two ethernet connections. I have use-ip-firewall=yes
in the bridge configuration, so that the ports go through the firewall.
I've enabled netflow reporting via ip/traffic-flow
, but the only packets I see reported are broadcast and multicast packets, not the packets that are flowing through the bridge. The documentation indicates that traffic flow logging happens after firewall processing and that it won't work with bridged connections by default, but I would have thought that use-ip-firewall=yes
ought to address this.
Is it possible to make this work somehow?
