I was one of the lucky bunch to acquire a RB750 from MikroTik at MUM (Thanks Normis!)

I have a couple of questions:
When an ethernet interface is slaved to a master ethernet interface why does the traffic tab on the master ethernet interface not correctly show the actual throughput?

I can consistently blast 97.5 Mbps bidirectionally through a slaved interface and the master port only shows about 54-65 kbps (just my winbox traffic)
On a side note when blasting this much data through the RB750's CPU only bounces between 1-3%, conversely when in bridged mode the CPU shoots up to 28-40%

Can we make the link lights on the RB750 to blink with activity?

BTW: MUM was GREAT!

Because the traffic is passing via the switching chip and not back to the router I would assume, if theres no need for it to be routed and it's not destined to one of the router IP's then why should the router do anything with it? Just generates more unnecessary processor use.

that is correct.

And as you told yourself - it is in switch mode. Also, if we showed total bandwidth of all ports as masterport RX/TX that would cause more confusion that solve, imagine you see 360Mbps on your 100Mbps interface.

so is there any traffic information on the switched ports? Via SNMP or anything?
