Re: [Mikrotik] switch functionality
You only have 1 port as far as statistics because everything is driven by ether 2. The way you did it is correct, but MTs implementation does not give statistics on the slave ports. What do you mean by manage each port.? By definition, all the traffic is exactly the same on all bridge ports. As switch is different in that it routes MAC addresses, but there still isn't really anything to manage on a per port basis in the MT implementation.

Re: [Mikrotik] switch functionality
I guess more than anything I would like to see utilization per port instead of aggregate. Beggers and choosers and the like I suppose. Thanks for clarifying. -Ty On Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 10:49 AM, Scott Reed sr...@nwwnet.net wrote: You only have 1 port as far as statistics because everything is driven by ether 2.
