I am pretty ignorant as to the abilities of any Mikrotic device.
Can you enlighten me?

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] GigE Testing
I am wondering if I got a GigE managed switch, could I see some phy data
speeds by looking at its management interface?
Why not just a Mikrotik CCR?
Demand for our GigE surge suppressor has been growing such that I am now
limited by my test station throughput.
Any ideas on how to test a GigE device go-nogo without buying more big
dollar testers (which I currently use)?
It needs to be fast and show speeds in both directions.
Have considered just putting up a GigE switch and plugging the surge
suppressor into two ports and seeing if they light. But that sounds
pretty
cheap and dirty. Want to see numbers. A laptop talking to another laptop
with iperf may end up being the solution. Not sure if there are GigE USB
NICS so I could do it all on one laptop or not.
Any other ideas?
