I just flashed a Mikrotik RB192 with the latest Kamikaze trunk. Only 6 of the 9 ethernet ports show up. Here's the ifconfig -a listing:

Am I missing a package to support one of the two sets of ports (1-4 switch, 5-9 controlled by the CPU)? Or is the rb1xx build limited to 6 ports?

Thanks in advance,

Rob

Hello,

If I compare your experience with mine (using a RB 150 with 5 ethernet ports), I do believe that what you see are only the CPU controlled ports.

On my RB150, although only 5 ports are physicaly present, I have 6 interfaces available when doing ifconfig -a
Mapping between physical interface and logical interface seems to be defined by the configuration of the internal switch (admswconfig)

see also Mikrotik RB150 / ADM5120 - ethernet switch and external port mapping

not very helpful I fear

regards.

I did confirm that out of the box the eth1 port (using the user's manual board diagram for port numbers--not the labeling on the case) works as the connection to another router, and ports eth6-9 are functioning as standard Fast Ethernet Ports (not a ture switch) which use the CPU for control. Eth2-5 are a switch using an IC+ IP175C switch chip. These ports seem to be unavailable due to not loading a package (is one available?).
