RB951 Eth1 with link and no cable connnected

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hi, this is my first topic.
Recently I installed a RB951. It was with all configuration removed and only configuration was:
One bridge with all eth ports and wireless port too on it.

When connect the cable on eth1 no link is displayed and I have not connection. So I connected the cable on eth2, and the chasis display link on eth2 and eth1.

When connect via winbox I see some traffic on eth1 (no cable is connected).

Is there any reason for that?

Thanks!

Hi.

This behavior looks like if you have some of your port in master/slave with the switch chipset, did you remove this configuration from default config ?

There are not master or slave ports configured.

When you say “switch chipset”, is that something on the hardware?

Hi.
When you set a master-port to some port, that port will be a part of switch chip.

Check the ethernet config to see if have a master-port.
Winbox: Interfaces > Ethernet > etherX
Terminal: /interface ethernet print

No switch mode, the master port show as None.
Like this:

[b@b] > /interface ethernet print
#    NAME                          MTU MAC-ADDRESS       ARP           MASTER-PORT                        SWITCH
0 RS ether1                       1500 xxxxxx 			enabled         none                               switch1
1    ether2                       1500 xxxxxx			 enabled         none                               switch1
2    ether3                       1500 xxxxxx 			enabled         none                               switch1

Also show your LED config.
Winbox: System > LEDs
Terminal: /system leds print
