RB750G switch mode, want to see live traffic in Winbox

Tue Dec 07, 2010 4:41 pm

I have an RB750G configured as a 5 ports switch with Port 1 being the Master port. I understand that the traffic is being transfered through the ports at wire speed (bypassing RouterOS) and this is probably why I can't see the live traffic in Winbox Interface List - which would be very helpful as I need to see what is going through each Ethernet port. Is there a way to configure it to do so? I want to see total traffic on all Ethers. I am running RouterOS 4.13. I believe bridging each port would work, but would sacrifice performance. Thank you for your help.

You can access this data by using the terminal
/interface ethernet print stats interval=1s

Yes, I know, thank you. That give me historical statistical information. I want to see the traffic flow real time in Winbox's Interface List view. Any other ideas? Can it be done in bridge mode and what is the performance hit? Thanks.
