Atheros 8316 ethernet switch (found on RB1100) chip has a port mirroring feature that is widely used in our practice (i.e. the “Traffic Inspector” billing system in promiscuous mode).
Recently purchased RB1100 with RouterOS 4.15 level 6 has the following problem.
Port mirroring works well when it is enabled manually. This setting is properly saved in config. But after router reboot port mirroring doesn’t work. If it is disabled and enabled manually again, it works fine.
So I wrote a script that is executed on system startup and does that disable-enable procedure. But it’s no good.
Am I missing something in setup or it is a…?
By the way, while adding a scheduler task I faced a strange thing with date field in Winbox under WINE. It seems that month name is taken from locale settings, and then is not accepted by RouterOS (because my locale is not english). Every time I recall the scheduler task for editing I must correct that field. It’s not a big problem, but annoying one.
