L3HW Acceleration not working on 2116

Sat Nov 12, 2022 11:03 pm

Hi All,

Running RouterOS v7.7beta6 and have the same issue @osc86 mentioned in his posts viewtopic.php?t=188907#p956083 / viewtopic.php?t=188907#p956714 / viewtopic.php?t=188907#p956756.

It just doesn't work. Everything configured per https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ ... rewall/NAT so it'll run through the CPU for firewall / NAT then be kicked into fasttrack and L3HW but see none of those lovely Hs in the connection list and see 3 cores into 50%+ utilisation at 2.5 Gbit/s so clearly the CPU is doing the work.

Does anyone have a 2116 that's operating correctly with fasttrack L3 HW acceleration - flow running through CPU for firewall classification and then into HW accelerated fasttrack as they're apparently supposed to according to the help page I linked? Have I maybe completely misunderstood the page and if it's NAT it's not getting HW accelerated even though the page claims the 2116's switch chip will do it? 'NAT rules applied to the offloaded Fasttrack connections get processed by HW too.'

Thanks!
