Ethernet interfaces messed up

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I have being looking to understand what was happening the whole day and i figured out...

Here are my ethernet interface from my RouterBoard 1100AH...

NAME MTU MAC-ADDRESS ARP MASTER-PORT SWITCH

0 ether1 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:F5 enabled none switch2
1 R ether2 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:F1 enabled none switch2
2 RS ether3 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:F4 enabled none switch2
3 RS ether4 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:F3 enabled ether3 switch2
4 S ether5 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:F2 enabled ether3 switch2
5 RS ether6 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:F6 enabled none switch1
6 RS ether7 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:F7 enabled ether6 switch1
7 S ether8 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:F8 enabled ether6 switch1
8 S ether9 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:F9 enabled ether6 switch1
9 RS ether10 1500 4C:5E:0C:5B:15:FA enabled ether6 switch1

as you can see, the Mac-addresses are messed up with the ethernet numbers. Therefor when i wanted to assign ether1 to pppoe-out, this was not the one, it was ether2...

Did i do something wrong with the configuration?

Thanks! :wink:

Hi,

I guess i made a mistake...

Here the result of the command :

jun/28/2014 21:55:23 by RouterOS 6.15

software id = 9EVT-8ZZI

/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether5 ] l2mtu=1520 name=ether1
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] l2mtu=1520 name=ether2
set [ find default-name=ether4 ] l2mtu=1520 name=ether3
set [ find default-name=ether3 ] l2mtu=1520 master-port=ether3 name=ether4
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] l2mtu=1520 master-port=ether3 name=ether5
set [ find default-name=ether7 ] master-port=ether6
set [ find default-name=ether8 ] master-port=ether6
set [ find default-name=ether9 ] master-port=ether6
set [ find default-name=ether10 ] master-port=ether6
/interface ethernet switch port
set 0 vlan-mode=fallback
set 1 vlan-mode=fallback
set 2 vlan-mode=fallback
set 3 vlan-mode=fallback
set 4 vlan-mode=fallback

So that means, i've renamed interfaces?
I thought about that too but i also thought that i could rely on the port numbers like number 0 == ether1, no?

Thanks.

paste this:

/interface ethernet
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] name=ether1x
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] name=ether2x
set [ find default-name=ether3 ] name=ether3x
set [ find default-name=ether4 ] name=ether4x
set [ find default-name=ether5 ] name=ether5x
set [ find default-name=ether1 ] name=ether1
set [ find default-name=ether2 ] name=ether2
set [ find default-name=ether3 ] name=ether3
set [ find default-name=ether4 ] name=ether4
set [ find default-name=ether5 ] name=ether5

Thanks for the tip! :wink:
