I have installed v6rc3 on a RB2011LS.
According to the latest newsletter this RB supports the new cable-test feature.
When I monitor as per the newsletter, no length/open/short information is displayed.

On my RB2011-2HnD-IN v6.00rc4 cable test feature works only on ports 6-10.
Is it by design or this feature will be added on remaining ports in future realease?

On v6rc5, RB2011-2HnD-IN.
Not seeing the cable test info on any of the ports.
Was this feature removed?

Works for me:
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface ethernet cable-test 0
name: ether1
status: no-link
cable-pairs: open:0,open:0,open:0,open:0

Ah. I had the command name wrong.
The newsletter (at least the PDF packed one) said:
[admin@CCR] > interface ethernet monitor ether5
status: no-link
auto-negotiation: done
cable-pairs: open:4,open:4,open:4,open:4
Thanks for the clear-up.

Works for me on my RB2011-2Hnd-IN on all ports, but NOT if a interface is a master-port for another physical port. It only appears to work if the port status is "no-link" and a master port seems to have link status of "link-ok" even if no device is physically plugged into the port.

if interface is configured in a switch, many features will only work on the master port. that's why it's a switch

What I was saying was that if the swich port is a master port, then the cable-test does not work on the master port. Is this intentional?
