I always keep copies of all devices configs (from a /export) in a folder on my laptop and in a private Internal git server. Then, as a Unix guy originally, I’d just run a “grep ether2 config.rsc” and see if it’s listed anywhere else. If so then dig into the .rsc file and find out what it is. If you are trying to find some random script or bit of config through Winbox or Webfig you are way too likely to miss things. Even if it’s one of your own devices that you are familiar with. Cheers, Andrew

We found that ether2 on a newly installed RB4011 was "not working". Investigation revealed it was not delivering an IP address via DHCP. Further investigation revealed that unlike every other port 3-10 in the bridge, ether2 was disabled. Since the DHCP server is on the bridge interface, devices connected to ether2 are not getting served.
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 disabled=yes interface=ether2 add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether3 [etc]
I didn't configure this unit. I'm a bit mystified as to why it would have been configured like that.
My question is whether I can safely just enable it. I can't see why not, but as it is now in production I thought I would ask the brains trust...
