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.

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

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. Steve
