MLAG & HW offloading

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

Hello,
Reading MLAG wiki

I was a bit confused - the same page is saying:
Hardware offloaded MLAG is only available on MikroTik devices with Marvell Prestera switch. All other devices support MLAG only in software.
&
The MLAG is not compatible with L3 hardware offloading. When using MLAG, the L3 hardware offloading must be disabled.

So, I'm running MLAG on a pair of CRS328-24P-4S+ with Marwell switch.
May/should I switch on L3 HW offload or not?

KR,

Aleks

You're question is not clear.

L3 HW = Routing and stuff in Hardware
MLAG HW Offload = MLAG in Hardware

As the document clearly states both can't be enabled at the same time

What kind of routing would you want to do with an CRS328? :sweat_smile:

At present with RouterOS 7, you have to decide whether a Prestera-enabled device will be routing in hardware or switching in hardware as part of an MLAG pair. You can't do both.
