Yes, in this case the MT interface reported successfully negotiating 100 Full,
but never counted any rcv packets.

Well....autonegotiation failures happen sometimes, but typically those work ok
when you force the speed on the link. In the case I'm thinking of, we could
not get a working link no matter what. It was quite awhile ago now, but I
think it would report a link was up while the input counters never climbed
above 0.
We have a couple devices that don't work with Mikrotik devices at all.
Putting a switch in between fixes it
but not ideal.

Yes...maybe. We had somebody not able to get link with an RB2011. I don't
think we ever tried the 10/100 ports. The customer ended up getting a
different router.
Is there an issue with the GigE ports on Mikrotik RB2011 not talking to
some
devices no matter what settings you try? I had this with a customer's
copper/fiber media converter, moved it to a 10/100 port on the 2011 and
all
was good. Now I think I'm seeing the same thing with a CTM. Setting the
GigE port to only negotiate 100M didn't work, no amount of playing with
the
settings worked, had to physically move it to a 10/100 port.
If this is a known problem and not my imagination, what other Mikrotik
devices share this issue? If this had been an 1100 or CCR or CSR, I might
not have had a 10/100 port available and I would have been stuck.
