I was thinking about this issue many time when follow my cables to which and where it is goes.
as every body know anyone can change the ports name to something you understand it or refer to something you like to check it.
my suggestion is it will be great idea if we get physical name for each port that can not be changed . in other word
ether1 can be changed to WAN because it is logical name for port 1 at any mikrotik board
it will be great idea if the names become tow parts physical.logical so anyone like to change port name as our example he can change the logic part and the physical part will stack with that name like this ether1.WAN or eth1.wan
This will be great help to any one follow cables and he will now that each cable where it's goes even you change ports name
hope to get some one attention about that
