Understanding L3 HArdware Offloading

Mon May 16, 2022 10:30 am

I am trying to understand the basics of L3 Hardware Offloading and what to expect from it.

The samples in the wiki leave some room for interpretation, maybe some one could check if my assumptions make sense in some way.

https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... Offloading

1. I need to enable l3-hw-offloading=yes In the switch
2. I need to enable vlan-filtering=yes on the bridge
3. Any vlans in the hardware supported bridge that contain the bridge will automagically route traffic on the same switch internally?

Is this how it should work? So inter switch traffic between vlans should not leave the switch and go via a router with this configuration?
