Need some help as I have reset my RB960PGS to factory defaults and now when I run WinBox or view via the web interface and I select "Interface List" I cannot see "Master Port" setting which I know has been there in the past and from YouTube tutorials.

That was introduced with 6.41
If you want to have eth2-eth5 as a switch, add all ports to a bridge, the bridge will take care of hw-offload.

Master port no longer exists as of 6.40. This was due to confusion between master port and bridge, they do the same thing but in different ways in the background.
The new way to do master port is to add interfaces to a bridge. See /interfaces bridge and /interfaces bridge port.

Please about this problem can you confirm the substitute command for this?
/interface ethernet
set 0 name=ether1-gateway
set 1 name=ether2-master-local
set 2 master-port=ether2-master-local name=ether3-slave-local
set 3 master-port=ether2-master-local name=ether4-slave-local
set 4 master-port=ether2-master-local name=ether5-slave-local
I readed is can be solved with a bridge, but I use a script for Movistar provider and I need exist this names.
Regards

# Setup a bridge for your LAN ports
/interface bridge add name=local-bridge
# Add your LAN ports to the bridge, by using hw=yes, it will leverage hardware offloading to the switch chip giving the same performance as master > slave
/interface bridge port
add bridge=local-bridge hw=yes interface=ether2-master-local
add bridge=local-bridge hw=yes interface=ether3-slave-local
add bridge=local-bridge hw=yes interface=ether4-slave-local
add bridge=local-bridge hw=yes interface=ether5-slave-local
Then instead of setting up your DHCP server and IP addressing on a "master-port" you just use the local-bridge interface instead.
