Network Interface Statistics collection

Hardware MikroTik hardware general
1

Is there a good way to collect network interface statistics, much like [not exactly as] tcpdump? I need to know specific interface statistics such as dropped packets, retries, errors, etc.

I am still having an issue with my routerboard 532A [ see: “Routerboard/RouterOS losing serious connection” http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/routerboard-routeros-losing-serious-connection/11344/1 for more information ].

I may have the issue narrowed down to:

  1. the routerboard/RouterOS does not work well with the DEMARC fiber device ( connects the network to a fiber WAN called MetroE ) or
  2. there is a serious issue with setting the NICs on the routerboard to 10/full or
  3. there is a serious issue with dropping packets using bridged interfaces or
  4. the routerboard is defective or
  5. a combination of all the above.

I NEED to determine the issue. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. These types of devices should NOT have this issue.

Thanks all

If you query with snmp you can get these values, if the NIC supports them. This helps track down when you are having auto negotiation mismatches, etc.

This is a good suggestion, but does RouterOS support this SNMP information? I will try that today. I HAVE to know what the issue is.

Can “the Dude” help me?

Thanks.

Thanks Sam. I did an snmpwalk and got the information I needed. 0 errors which means I have bigger issues. :frowning:
