How to remove slave interfaces?

RouterOS General
1

I changed my RB2011UiAS-RM from default config - WAN at ether1, bridge of 2 to 6, 2 is also master and 3-4-5 are slaves - because I have WAN at 100 mbps, and wanted to use all GHz interfaces for different wifi networks in different flats.

So, port 2 was master for all 3 to 5 ports. And I can’t get rid of it. When I use webfig to go to one of the interfaces 3 to 5, it says Master Port: none. But there’s S in interface list.

I tried terminal commands to set en03 master-port=none but that didn’t work - there’s still “S” there. How can something be slave and has no master port? I’m lost. Please help.

And I don’t even know whose slave the en6 is (since that one is on another switch already)… Thanks!

Because they are part of bridge interface, so are considered as slave of that bridge.

Thanks a lot! As I posted this on Friday night, the post got only approved today… and by that time I figured it out already. Thanks again!

I have exactly the same very frustrating problem. All the ports went from normal master to slaves and I cannot get them unhooked!

Could you explain how you actually solved it, so that I could do the same? Did you remove the bridge interface, or edit it, and if so, how was that done?

Thanks very much

Ok I answered my own question in the end.

Went to Interfaces menu > Interfaces List. First tab there. Removed the Bridge entry, and added it again, which cleared the problem.

The ports had all become slaves because I chose Bridge in my QuickSet interface…

Absolute newbie here, but have found great help on the net with RouterOS. Thanks one and all for your helpful information.
