Viewing IP addresses attached to each port

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

This is more a matter of convenience and understanding how to do this on routeros, I have done it on other enterprise routers but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do it on routeros.

Everything is working fine, but I would like to know how to do this, let me present a situation.

I have 4 computers connected to ether2 through ether4. 2 of them use DCHP to get their address and 2 of them have static ip’s assigned on the host. Now I see heavy traffic load on interface ether3 and I wonder “which computer is connected to that port”. Of course I could follow the cord and find out, but I’d like to know a way to see the IP address that is connected to that port, that would tell me which computer has the load. This seems like a simple request but I cannot it out!

/ip arp print

0 D 192.168.88.151 1C:6F:65:D6:F2:9C bridge-local
1 D 192.168.88.134 00:11:32:1A:9C:EF bridge-local
2 D 98.223.96.1 00:01:5C:24:9C:01 ether1-gateway
3 D 192.168.88.251 E0:C9:7A:C0:87:9E bridge-local

Instead of bridge-local I want to see what port those are on!

You can find a lot of information quickly by using either Winbox or the Web GUI. Look at the interfaces, select the one with the high traffic and run Torch. You can order the connections by rx/tx loadings and rapidly see which IPs are involved.

That works great, thanks! I am still wondering why it says bridge-local instead of the actual port, I think they should change that…
