I was hoping that the new releases of v5 would solve a problem I have with virtually all my x86 RouterOS machines.
Primarily Dell servers with either Intel 82547GI, or Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5721 GBe controllers.
Other industrial class x86 machines with 82575EB/82574L and 82801G chipsets.
All Ethernet ports always indicate 'running'. This has been going on for quite a few releases back as far as I can remember, but it is now causing me logistical problems. (Are you sure you have link status?...NO I am not!)
ROS tells me all ports are 'running', but if you go to port status, it indicates proper link state, i.e. auto-negotion=done (with no connection), speed=unknown, with no connection to port whatsoever...
RBs dont seem to have this problem. I would hope someone else could corroborate this behaviour, but cant figure out why this hasnt been noticed before. Maybe I am missing something, but there are a lot of these types of machines and chipsets running ROS out there for years.
MT, anyone, please advise.....
