Hi,
Got my brand new Mikrotik RB2011 device configured. But for some reason the leds are not flashing on interface activity.
When I do an output of /system leds print I got this:
Flags: X - disabled, * - default
and when I try to add a new led via /system leds add led for interface activity:
[user@MikroTik] > system leds add leds=led1 type=interface-activity interface=ETH1
It seems that the MT is not recognizing the leds in the device, is there a workaround to get the leds flashing on interface activity ?
The leds are turned on when a cable is connected to the interface, so leds are working fine !
I'm running routeros 5.20

I don’t think they flash for activity.
That is correct. They are either ON or OFF, nothing else.
This is unfortunate… most people want to see ACTIVITY (flashing), not just a physical connection.
Mikrotik, PLEASE FIX THIS!

It could be nice but I don’t think it is a big deal. If I am monitoring something I don’t care about the lights on the front.
a LOT of people would like this though… and it is fairly standard.

This is a hardware limitation of the specific switch chip used in this product. They can’t accurately flash on interface activity, so this is why this product can’t do it.

Like it’s already told : a lot of people would love it when they where blinking on internet activity. Just like every other router does…

They flashing before Mikrotik boot… I think is possible to correct.
Well, in that’s case let’s hope that MT will have a fix soon

Like I said - switch chip does not support this. They can flash, but so slowly, that it is useless for displaying network activity.
But can we reconfigure the leds to dispplay a custom status like Wireless status?
Hi. Could you please tell me how i can disable all leds on this rb2011 model?
