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.
