==Detect Cable Problems== | |||
In RouterOS v6rc4 and newer releases there is the ability to detect problems with connected cables. | |||
Cable test can detect problems or measure the approximate cable length if the cable is unplugged on the other end and there is therefore, "no-link". | |||
RouterOS will tell: | |||
* which cable pair is damaged | |||
* the distance to the problem | |||
* how exactly the cable is broken - short-circuited or open-circuited | |||
This also works if the other end is simply unplugged - in that case, the total cable length will be shown. | |||
Here is example output: | |||
<pre> | |||
[admin@CCR] > interface ethernet cable-test ether2 | |||
name: ether2 | |||
status: no-link | |||
cable-pairs: open:4,open:4,open:4,open:4 | |||
</pre> | |||
In the above example, cable is not shorted but “open” at 4 meters distance, all cable pairs equally faulty at the same distance from the switch chip. | |||
Currently <code>cable-test</code> is implemented on the following devices: | |||
* CCR series devices | |||
* CRS1xx series devices | |||
* CRS2xx series devices | |||
* OmniTIK series devices | |||
* RB450G series devices | |||
* RB951 series devices | |||

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.
|
bandwidth (integer/integer; Default: unlimited/unlimited) | Sets max rx/tx bandwidth in kbps that will be handled by an interface. TX limit is supported on all Atheros switch-chip ports. RX limit is supported only on Atheros8327/QCA8337 switch-chip ports. |
cable-setting (default | short | standard; Default: default) | Changes the cable length setting (only applicable to NS DP83815/6 cards) |
comment (string; Default: ) | Descriptive name of an item |
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. Default value is 'yes' because older NICs do not support it. (only applicable to x86) |
tx-flow-control (on | off | auto; Default: off) | When set to on, port will send pause frames when specific buffer usage thresholds is met. auto is the same as on except when auto-negotiation=yes flow control status is resolved by taking into account what other end advertises. Feature is supported on AR724x, AR9xxx, QCA9xxx CPU ports, all CCR ports and all Atheros switch chip ports. |
rx-flow-control (on | off | auto; Default: off) | When set to on, port will process received pause frames and suspend transmission if required. auto is the same as on except when auto-negotiation=yes flow control status is resolved by taking into account what other end advertises. Feature is supported on AR724x, AR9xxx, QCA9xxx CPU ports, all CCR ports and all Atheros switch chip ports. |
full-duplex (yes | no; Default: yes) | Defines whether the transmission of data appears in two directions simultaneously |
l2mtu (integer [0..65536]; Default: ) | Layer2 Maximum transmission unit. Read more>> |
mac-address (MAC; Default: ) | Media Access Control number of an interface. |
master-port (name; Default: none) | Outdated property, more details about this property can be found in the Master-port page. |
mdix-enable (yes | no; Default: yes) | Whether the MDI/X auto cross over cable correction feature is enabled for the port (Hardware specific, e.g. ether1 on RB500 can be set to yes/no. Fixed to 'yes' on other hardware.) |
mtu (integer [0..65536]; Default: 1500) | Layer3 Maximum transmission unit |
name (string; Default: ) | Name of an interface |
orig-mac-address (MAC; Default: ) | |
poe-out (auto-on | forced-on | off; Default: off) | Poe Out settings. Read more >> |
poe-priority (; Default: ) | Poe Out settings. Read more >> |
sfp-rate-select (high | low; Default: high) | |
speed (10Mbps | 10Gbps | 100Mbps | 1Gbps; Default: ) | Sets interface data transmission speed which takes effect only when auto-negotiation is disabled. |
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) | Total count of received 1024 to 1518 byte packets |
rx-128-255 (integer) | Total count of received 128 to 255 byte packets |

Detect Cable Problems
In RouterOS v6rc4 and newer releases there is the ability to detect problems with connected cables. Cable test can detect problems or measure the approximate cable length if the cable is unplugged on the other end and there is therefore, "no-link". RouterOS will tell:
- which cable pair is damaged
- the distance to the problem
- how exactly the cable is broken - short-circuited or open-circuited
This also works if the other end is simply unplugged - in that case, the total cable length will be shown.
Here is example output:
[admin@CCR] > interface ethernet cable-test ether2 name: ether2 status: no-link cable-pairs: open:4,open:4,open:4,open:4
In the above example, cable is not shorted but “open” at 4 meters distance, all cable pairs equally faulty at the same distance from the switch chip.
Currently cable-test
is implemented on the following devices:
- CCR series devices
- CRS1xx series devices
- CRS2xx series devices
- OmniTIK series devices
- RB450G series devices
- RB951 series devices
- RB2011 series devices
- RB4011 series devices

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, RB750 ether2-ether5, RB750G ether1-ether5 and also RB1100 ether1-ether10). Complete list of properties can be found in section above
For example, output of ethernet stats on RB450G:
[admin@MikroTik] /interface ethernet> print stats name: ether1-gateway ether2-local ether3-local ether4-local ether5-local rx-broadcast: 22 31 3666 11 rx-pause: 0 0 0 0 rx-multicast: 4 7 1423 5 rx-fcs-error: 0 0 2 0 rx-align-error: 0 0 0 0 rx-runt: 0 0 0 0 rx-fragment: 0 0 1 0 rx-64: 0 0 0 0 rx-65-127: 8 14 21598 10 rx-128-255: 0 0 0 0 rx-256-511: 18 24 2245 6 rx-512-1023: 28926 7649 371938 24476 rx-1024-1518: 0 0 0 0 rx-1519-max: 0 0 0 0 rx-too-long: 0 0 0 0 rx-overflow: 0 0 0 0 rx-bytes: 15337844 4063737 199738064 12975401 tx-broadcast: 13 13 1496 8 tx-pause: 0 0 0 0 tx-multicast: 13 13 1496 8 tx-underrun: 0 0 0 0 tx-64: 0 0 0 0 tx-65-127: 26 26 2992 16 tx-128-255: 0 0 0 0 tx-256-511: 0 0 0 0 tx-512-1023: 0 0 0 0 tx-1024-1518: 0 0 0 0 tx-1519-max: 0 0 0 0 tx-too-long: 0 0 0 0 tx-collision: 0 0 0 0 tx-excessive-collision: 0 0 0 0 tx-multiple-collision: 0 0 0 0 tx-single-collision: 0 0 0 0 tx-excessive-deferred: 0 0 0 0 tx-deferred: 0 0 0 0 tx-late-collision: 0 0 0 0 tx-bytes: 2561 2561 294712 1576
