Description
The Manual describes general settings of MikroTik RouterOS interfaces.
Interface Status
Submenu level: /interfaceProperty Description
name (text) - the name of the interface status - shows the interface status type (read-only: arlan | bridge | cyclades | eoip | ethernet | farsync | ipip | isdn-client | isdn-server | l2tp-client | l2tp-server | moxa-c101 | moxa-c502 | mtsync | pc | ppp-client | ppp-server | pppoe-client | pppoe-server | pptp-client | pptp-server | pvc | radiolan | sbe | vlan | wavelan | wireless | xpeed) - interface type mtu (integer) - maximum transmission unit for the interface (in bytes) rx-rate (integer; default: 0) - maximum data rate for receiving data
0
- no limits
tx-rate (integer; default: 0) - maximum data rate for transmitting data
0
- no limits
Example
To see the list of all available interfaces:
[admin@MikroTik] interface> print Flags: X - disabled, D - dynamic, R - running # NAME TYPE RX-RATE TX-RATE MTU 0 R ether1 ether 0 0 1500 1 R bridge1 bridge 0 0 1500 2 R ether2 ether 0 0 1500 3 R wlan1 wlan 0 0 1500 [admin@MikroTik] interface>
Traffic Monitoring
Command name: /interface monitor-trafficDescription
The traffic passing through any interface can be monitored.
Notes
One or more interfaces can be monitored at the same time.
Example
Multiple interface monitoring:
[admin@MikroTik] interface> monitor-traffic ether1,wlan1
received-packets-per-second: 1 0
received-bits-per-second: 475bps 0bps
sent-packets-per-second: 1 1
sent-bits-per-second: 2.43kbps 198bps
