Summary

Sub-menu: /interface ethernet

Standards: IEEE 802.3


MikroTik RouterOS supports various types of Ethernet interfaces.

Properties


Property Description
arp (disabled | enabled | proxy-arp | reply-only; Default: enabled) Address Resolution Protocol mode
auto-negotiation (yes | no; Default: yes) When enabled, the interface "advertises" its maximum capabilities to achieve the best connection possible.
Note: Auto-negotiation must be disabled on both ends, otherwise Ethernets may not work properly.
Note2: Gigabit link cannot work with auto-negotiation disabled.
bandwidth (integer/integer; Default: unlimited/unlimited) Sets max rx/tx bandwidth that will be handled by an interface.
cable-setting (default | short | standard; Default: default) changes the cable length setting (only applicable to NS DP83815/6 cards)
disable-running-check (yes | no; Default: yes) Disable running check. If this value is set to 'no', the router automatically detects whether the NIC is connected with a device in the network or not.
full-duplex (yes | no; Default: yes) Defines whether the transmission of data appears in two directions simultaneously
l2mtu (integer; Default: ) Layer2 Maximum transmission unit. Read more>>
mac-address (MAC; Default: ) Media Access Control number of an interface.
master-port (name | none; Default: none) Sets switch group master interface
mdix-enable (yes | no; Default: ) Whether the MDI/X auto crosscable correction feature is enabled for the port
mtu (integer; Default: 1500) Layer3 Maximum transmission unit
name (string; Default: ) Name of an interface
speed (10Mbps | 100Mbps | 1Gbps; Default: max available) Sets the data transmission speed of the interface. By default, this value is the maximal data rate supported by the interface


Read-only properties

Property Description
running (yes | no) Whether interface is running. Note that some interface does not have running check and they are always reported as "running"
rx-1024-1518 (integer)
rx-128-255 (integer)
rx-1519-max (integer)
rx-256-511 (integer)
rx-512-1023 (integer)
rx-64 (integer)
rx-65-127 (integer)
rx-align-error (integer)
rx-broadcast (integer)
rx-bytes (integer)
rx-fcs-error (integer)
rx-fragment (integer)
rx-multicast (integer)
rx-overflow (integer)
rx-pause (integer)
rx-runt (integer)
rx-too-long (integer)
slave (yes | no) Whether interface is configured as a slave of another interface (for example Bonding)
switch (integer) ID to which switch chip interface belongs to.
tx-1024-1518 (integer)
tx-128-255 (integer)
tx-1519-max (integer)
tx-256-511 (integer)
tx-512-1023 (integer)
tx-64 (integer)
tx-65-127 (integer)
tx-align-error (integer)
tx-broadcast (integer)
tx-bytes (integer)
tx-fcs-error (integer)
tx-fragment (integer)
tx-multicast (integer)
tx-overflow (integer)
tx-pause (integer)
tx-runt (integer)
tx-too-long (integer)

Menu specific commands

Property Description
blink ([id, name]) Blink Ethernet leds
monitor ([id, name]) Monitor ethernet status. Read more>>
reset-counters ([id, name]) Reset stats counters. Read more>>
reset-mac ([id, name]) Reset MAC address to manufacturers default.

Monitor

/interface ethernet monitor command prints out current link, rate and duplex status of an interface.

Properties:

Property Description
auto-negotiation (done | incomplete) Current auto negotiation status.
  • done-negotiation completed
  • incomplete-negotiation failed or not yet completed
default-cable-settings (short | standard) default cable length setting (only applicable to NS DP83815/6 cards)
  • short-support short cables
  • standard-support standard cables
full-duplex (yes | no) Whether transmission of data occurs in two directions simultaneously
rate (10Mbps | 100Mbps | 1Gbps) Actual data rate of the connection
status (link-ok | no-link | unknown) Current link status of an interface
  • link-ok-the card is connected to the network
  • no-link-the card is not connected to the network
  • unknown-the connection is not recognized (if the card does not report connection status)


Example output of ethernet status:

[admin@MikroTik] /interface ethernet> monitor ether1
            status: link-ok
  auto-negotiation: done
              rate: 1Gbps
       full-duplex: yes

Stats

RouterOS v3.22 introduces a new command:

/interface ethernet print stats

This command will display all kinds of other statistics if the interface is supporting them (currently only RB450G ether2-ether5 and also RB750 ether2-ether5). Complete list of properties can be found in section above

For example, output of ethernet stats on RB450G:

[admin@MikroTik] /interface ethernet> print stats
