advertise(since RouterOS v7.12: 10M-baseT-half | 10M-baseT-full| 100M-baseT-half | 100M-baseT-full | 1G-baseT-half | 1G-baseT-full | 1G-baseX | 2.5G-baseT | 2.5G-baseX | 5G-baseT | 10G-baseT | 10G-baseSR-LR | 10G-baseCR | 40G-baseSR4-LR4 | 40G-baseCR4 | 25G-baseSR-LR | 25G-baseCR | 50G-baseSR2-LR2 | 50G-baseCR2 | 100G-baseSR4-LR4 | 100G-baseCR4; Default: )

(older RouterOS: 10M-full | 10M-half | 100M-full | 100M-half | 1000M-full | 1000M-half | 2500M-full | 5000M-full | 10000M-full; Default: )

Advertised link modes, only applies when auto-negotiation is enabled. Advertising higher speeds than the actual interface supported speed can result in undefined behavior. Multiple options are allowed.
arp (disabled | enabled | local-proxy-arp | proxy-arp | reply-only; Default: enabled)Address Resolution Protocol mode:
  • disabled - the interface will not use ARP
  • enabled - the interface will use ARP
  • local-proxy-arp - the router performs proxy ARP on the interface and sends replies to the same interface
  • proxy-arp - the router performs proxy ARP on the interface and sends replies to other interfaces
  • reply-only - the interface will only reply to requests originated from matching IP address/MAC address combinations which are entered as static entries in the ARP table. No dynamic entries will be automatically stored in the ARP table. Therefore for communications to be successful, a valid static entry must already exist.
arp-timeout (auto | integer; Default: auto)How long the ARP record is kept in the ARP table after no packets are received from IP. Value auto equals to the value of arp-timeout in IP/Settings, default is 30s.
auto-negotiation (yes | no; Default: yes)When enabled, the interface "advertises" its maximum capabilities to achieve the best connection possible.
  • Note1: Auto-negotiation should not be disabled on one end only, otherwise Ethernet Interfaces may not work properly.
  • Note2: Gigabit Ethernet and NBASE-T Ethernet links cannot work with auto-negotiation disabled.
bandwidth (integer/integer; Default: unlimited/unlimited)Sets max rx/tx bandwidth in kbps that will be handled by an interface. TX limit is supported on all Atheros switch-chip ports. RX limit is supported only on Atheros8327/QCA8337 switch-chip ports.
cable-setting (default | short | standard; Default: default)Changes the cable length setting (only applicable to NS DP83815/6 cards)
combo-mode (auto | copper | sfp; Default: auto)When auto mode is selected, the port that was first connected will establish the link. In case this link fails, the other port will try to establish a new link. In case of a reboot, any of the two ports can be running, it depends on which port will successfully establish the link first. When sfp mode is selected, the interface will only work through SFP/SFP+ cage. When copper mode is selected, the interface will only work through RJ45 Ethernet port.
comment (string; Default: )Descriptive name of an item
disable-running-check (yes | no; Default: yes)Disable running check. If this value is set to 'no', the router automatically detects whether the NIC is connected with a device in the network or not. Default value is 'yes' because older NICs do not support it. (relevant only applicable to CHR and x86)
fec-mode (auto | fec74 | fec91 | off; Default: auto)

Changes Forward Error Correction (FEC) mode for SFP28, QSFP+ and QSFP28 interfaces. Same mode should be used on both link ends, otherwise FEC mismatch could result in non-working link or even false link-ups. 

It is recommended to enable FEC, particularly when creating link between CRS3xx, CRS5xx series switches. Some optical modules might rely on FEC functionality in MACs.

  • auto - same as off
  • fec74 - enables IEEE 802.3 clause 74 FEC (aka FC-FEC), can be used with 25Gbps, 40Gbps and 50Gbps link modes
  • fec91 - enables IEEE 802.3 clause 91 FEC (aka RS-FEC), can be used with 25Gbps, 50Gbps and 100Gbps link modes
  • off - disabled FEC.
tx-flow-control (on | off | auto; Default: off)When set to on, the port will generate pause frames to the upstream device to temporarily stop the packet transmission. Pause frames are only generated when some routers output interface is congested and packets cannot be transmitted anymore. auto is the same as on except when auto-negotiation=yes flow control status is resolved by taking into account what other end advertises.
rx-flow-control (on | off | auto; Default: off)When set to on, the port will process received pause frames and suspend transmission if required. auto is the same as on except when auto-negotiation=yes flow control status is resolved by taking into account what other end advertises.
full-duplex (yes | no; Default: yes)Defines whether the transmission of data appears in two directions simultaneously, only applies when auto-negotiation is disabled. Since RouterOS v7.12, the setting is replaced with new speed link modes.
l2mtu (integer [0..65536]; Default: )Layer2 Maximum transmission unit. Read more.
mac-address (MAC; Default: )Media Access Control number of an interface.
mdix-enable (yes | no; Default: yes)Whether the MDI/X auto cross over cable correction feature is enabled for the port (Hardware specific, e.g. ether1 on RB500 can be set to yes/no. Fixed to 'yes' on other hardware.)
mtu (integer [0..65536]; Default: 1500)Layer3 Maximum transmission unit
name (string; Default: )Name of an interface
orig-mac-address (read-only: MAC; Default: )Original Media Access Control number of an interface.
passthrough-interface (interface; Default: )Sets an interface in passthrough mode on CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe device. By default, the PCIe interface will show up as four virtual Ethernet interfaces. Two interfaces in passthrough mode to the 25G SFP28 cages. The remaining two virtual Ethernet-PCIe interfaces are bridged with the Gigabit Ethernet port for management access.
poe-out (auto-on | forced-on | off; Default: off)Poe Out settings. Read more.
poe-priority (integer [0..99]; Default: )Poe Out settings. Read more.
sfp-shutdown-temperature (integer; Default: 95 | 80)The temperature in Celsius at which the interface will be temporarily turned off due to too high detected SFP module temperature (introduced v6.48). The default value for SFP/SFP+/SFP28 interfaces is 95, and for QSFP+/QSFP28 interfaces 80 (introduced v7.6).
sfp-rate-select (high | low; Default: high)Allows to control rate select pin for SFP ports.

speed (since RouterOS v7.12: 10M-baseT-half | 10M-baseT-full| 100M-baseT-half | 100M-baseT-full | 1G-baseT-half | 1G-baseT-full | 1G-baseX | 2.5G-baseT | 2.5G-baseX | 5G-baseT | 10G-baseT | 10G-baseSR-LR | 10G-baseCR | 40G-baseSR4-LR4 | 40G-baseCR4 | 25G-baseSR-LR | 25G-baseCR | 50G-baseSR2-LR2 | 50G-baseCR2 | 100G-baseSR4-LR4 | 100G-baseCR4; Default: )

(older RouterOS: 10Mbps | 10Gbps | 100Mbps | 1Gbps | 2.5Gbps | 5Gbps | 25Gbps | 40Gbps | 100Gbps; Default: )

Sets interface data transmission speed which takes effect only when auto-negotiation is disabled. Setting higher speeds than the actual interface supported speed can result in undefined behavior. Single option is allowed.
