Well....autonegotiation failures happen sometimes, but typically those
work ok when you force the speed on the link. In the case I'm thinking
of, we could not get a working link no matter what. It was quite awhile
ago now, but I think it would report a link was up while the input
counters never climbed above 0.
We have a couple devices that don't work with Mikrotik devices at all.
Putting a switch in between fixes it
but not ideal.

Yes...maybe. We had somebody not able to get link with an RB2011.
I don't think we ever tried the 10/100 ports. The customer ended
up getting a different router.
Is there an issue with the GigE ports on Mikrotik RB2011 not
talking to some
devices no matter what settings you try? I had this with a
customer's
copper/fiber media converter, moved it to a 10/100 port on the
2011 and all
was good. Now I think I'm seeing the same thing with a CTM.
Setting the
GigE port to only negotiate 100M didn't work, no amount of
playing with the
settings worked, had to physically move it to a 10/100 port.
If this is a known problem and not my imagination, what other
Mikrotik
devices share this issue? If this had been an 1100 or CCR or
CSR, I might
not have had a 10/100 port available and I would have been stuck.
