Hi all, winbox and command line are showing different negotiated speeds on the same ethernet interaces (100mbps vs. 1gbps, RB951G-2HnD).
Whom should I trust?
Re: Winbox vs. CLI - ethernet showing different speeds
are you sure you are looking at the same thing?
this is how you check that in CLI
rate: is the field you are looking for
this is how you check that in CLI

Nah, I was looking here:
So what's the difference between speed and rate? Anyway thanks

from manual:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Ethernet
read this as - when auto-negotiation is turned off, it will be the setting that is going to be used.
rate - is negotiated rate that interface is using
so, from same link:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Ethernet
Code: Select all
speed (10Mbps | 10Gbps | 100Mbps | 1Gbps; Default: ) Sets the data transmission speed of an interface. By default, this value is the maximal data rate supported by the interfacerate - is negotiated rate that interface is using
so, from same link:
Code: Select all
rate (10Mbps | 100Mbps | 1Gbps) Actual data rate of the connection.Re: Winbox vs. CLI - ethernet showing different speeds
Thanks a lot, my fault - should have read the manual.
