General Information

Property Description
bridge-id (text) - the bridge ID, which is in form of bridge-priority.bridge MAC Address
designated-root (text) - ID of the root bridge
path-cost (integer) - the total cost of path along to the root-bridge
root-port (name) - port to which the root bridge is connected to
Example
To monitor a bridge:
[admin@MikroTik] interface bridge> monitor bridge1
bridge-id: 32768.00:02:6F:01:CE:31
designated-root: 32768.00:02:6F:01:CE:31
root-port: ether2
path-cost: 180
[admin@MikroTik] interface bridge>
Bridge Port Monitoring
Command name: /interface bridge port monitor
Description
Statistics of an interface that belongs to a bridge
Property Description
designated-port (text) - port of designated-root bridge
designated-root (text) - ID of bridge, which is nearest to the root-bridge
port-id (integer) - port ID, which represents from port priority and port number, and is unique
status (disabled | blocking | listening | learning | forwarding) - the status of the bridge port:
• disabled - the interface is disabled. No frames are forwarded, no Bridge Protocol Data Units
(BPDUs) are heard
• blocking - the port does not forward any frames, but listens for BPDUs
• listening - the port does not forward any frames, but listens to them
• learning - the port does not forward any frames, but learns the MAC addresses
• forwarding - the port forwards frames, and learns MAC addresses
Example
To monitor a bridge port:
[admin@MikroTik] interface bridge port> mo 0
status: forwarding
port-id: 28417
designated-root: 32768.00:02:6F:01:CE:31
designated-bridge: 32768.00:02:6F:01:CE:31
designated-port: 28417
