Exam MTCNA Topic 5 Question 116 Discussion

The redirect action in MikroTik's NAT firewall rules is used to force traffic (usually from LAN clients) to a local service on the router - for example, redirecting all DNS queries to the router's DNS server, or forcing web traffic to a proxy.
Details:
* It changes the destination IP to the router's IP automatically (without needing to specify it)
* It also allows port redirection (e.g., dst-port=80 # to 3128 for proxy) Evaluation:
* A.#True - You can redirect to a specific port on the router
* B.#False - Redirect does not change destination IP to an arbitrary host; for that, use dst-nat
* C.#True - Redirect forces traffic to the router itself
* D.#False - dst-nat is used to forward packets to internal hosts, not redirect MTCNA Course Manual - NAT Actions:
"Redirect action changes destination to the router itself. This is useful for forcing traffic through router services." Rene Meneses Guide - NAT Behavior:
"Redirect = router-local services like DNS or proxy. Use dst-nat for remote hosts." Terry Combs Notes - Firewall Actions:
"Use redirect when you want to intercept traffic and handle it locally on the router."
