Tx/Rx drops and errors? Those are driver-level stats. I have very few
routers where any of those counters are non-zero, and most of those are
simply Rx drops probably because of a buffer overflow from high-cap
links like licensed and AF24's.
The QualComm/Atheros gigabit switch controllers that MikroTik is using
in newer-ish products gives you hardware-level statistics and error
counters.
Here's an example from a 493G. Those tabs don't even exist on a 493 or
493AH because the hardware sucks. You should not even attempt hardware
switching on those boards. There's no switch FDB, so it will function
like a hub.

George,
It doesn’t look like the RB493G Counters work either.

493 what? The 493 and 493AH switch controller is dumb and will not
give you any port error stats. The 493G switch controllers will. And
pretty much any other board with gigabit interfaces will as well.

I see. We’re running RB493 on this install.

I think it matters what hardware you have, not software version.

Can anyone confirm that Mikrotik Ethernet error counters work in
6.37.1 and newer software? I’m trying to identify a problem and
was surprised to see all zeros on these counters. These are
columns that need to be added “Right Mouse, show columns” for them
to display. I can’t say that they ever worked since I have never
tried to use them in the past.
