ether1 vanished...

Hello, I´m recently have installed a brand new one CCR 1072 and note that ether1 interface does not shown at interface tab… so I´ve upgraded to 7.1.5 and still vanished… the port doesn´t work and many others like sfp+1 or sfp+3 work with problems…

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

I have adopted an ether1 at my place. It showed up one day, tired and hungry and I gave it a home and love and a reason to live.
Suggesting you send the rest of its kin my way and thus you will not be searching for ether1 any more. Will pay postage…



Thanks for you kindly serious help… really do you have time enough to write this kind of shit when someone needs any help?.. good 4 you man.

It is a joke, maybe a bad one. But I liked it.
If ether1 is not present it is most likely a defect. It is via a pci-e controller attached to the Tilera. I would get a rma.

Are you saying the unit is defective?
Report as supout to MT with your findings and work with them directly to see if the unit needs to be replaced.
I cant imagine you are using bad cables.

Have you tried a Winbox - System - Reset Configuration with No Default Configuration ( no check on Keep User Configuration ) ?

Also , in New-Terminal , do a /Interface ethernet print , Are the MAC addresses in sorted order with the interface names ?

Looks like but may be there is some kind of magic to do before :frowning:

Thanks for yor reply

Hi! yes, have done that. And here is the response to command you suggested

[admin@MikroTik] /interface/ethernet> print
Flags: R - RUNNING
Columns: NAME, MTU, MAC-ADDRESS, ARP

NAME MTU MAC-ADDRESS ARP

0 R sfp-sfpplus1-GUAN 1500 74:4D:28:4A:A9:DA enabled
1 sfp-sfpplus2 1500 74:4D:28:4A:A9:DB enabled
2 sfp-sfpplus3 1500 74:4D:28:4A:A9:DC enabled
3 sfp-sfpplus4 1500 74:4D:28:4A:A9:DD enabled
4 sfp-sfpplus5 1500 74:4D:28:4A:A9:DE enabled
5 sfp-sfpplus6 1500 74:4D:28:4A:A9:DF enabled
6 sfp-sfpplus7 1500 74:4D:28:4A:A9:E0 enabled
7 sfp-sfpplus8 1500 74:4D:28:4A:A9:E1 enabled
[admin@MikroTik] /interface/ethernet>

So, you can´t see any eth1 interface… :frowning: it´s a RMA case.

Thanks for your help

IMO , I suspect there may be a problem with the PCIe x1 controller ( circled in red in my image post here ).
Your options are:

  • Continue to use it as-is ( if you don’t need the ethernet ).
  • RMA it to where you purchased it ( if it is still under warranty ).
  • Put it in a refrigerator for 15 minutes ( not the freezer ), If the Ethernet port shows up when the board is cold , then it might be the PCIe x1 controller is starting to go out , or a hair-line cold solder joint near the PCIe X1 controller.
  • Use a strong magnifying glass and follow all of the circuit board board traces from the Ethernet connector to the PCIe X1 controller chip and examine the traces to/from the PCIe X1 controller chip.

Note - most networking problems are at the physical L1 level. Thus look of loose solder connections and hair-line-thin shorts and look for any rounded ( blown capacitors ).

FYI - Many years ago ( late 1970s ) , I was a electronics board repair tech - so this info might help …

If you resolve the problem , please post what you did to resolve it.

Also , try ROS downgrading the board ( don’t forget the sy ro pr up y reboot part ).

Hi Tom! I will try the refrigerator because I well known that trick. Many hard drives has back to live after that so will try… since nothing to loose. I will post if work or not. If fails will send it to RMA.
Thanks for all info!

/sys rou settings set disable-pci=no

(is not a Joke…)

Good one

Hi Guys thanks for all yours help. Unit is definitively bad and will send to RMA because have serious problems in all of other SFP+ also..

Nothing else to do. Thanks to all, specially to Tom! will keep that graph

hahaha looks like but no. Yes, the if does not disabled
