v7.1beta6: netPower 16P: Cannot enable L3 Hardware Offloading

Mon May 31, 2021 2:08 am

Hello,

as the title says, I cannot enable L3 Hardware Offloading on CRS318-16P-2S+. There are no firewall rules, and L3 HW support cannot be enabled whether Bridge VLAN filtering is on or off.

Also, the device shows 2 active CPU cores, with CPU load differing on each one.
Is this expected, and if yes, can we expect a doubling of software routing performance?
