There are several types of switch chips on Routerboards and they have a different sets of features. Most of them (from now on "Other") have has only the basic "Port Switching" feature, but there are a few with more features:

Notes
- For QCA8337, Atheros8327, Atheros8316, Atheros8227, and Atheros7240 the Tx/Rx rate limits can be changed with
bandwidthproperty on"/interface ethernet"menu, see more details in the Ethernet manual. For RTL8367, 88E6393X, 88E6191X, and MT7621 Tx/Rx rate limit can be changed withegress-rateandingress-rateproperties on "/interface ethernet switch port" menu. - MAC addresses are learned up to the specified number, but the content of a switch host table is not available in RouterOS and static host configuration is not supported.
- Bridge HW vlan-filtering was added in the RouterOS 7.1rc1 (for RTL8367) and 7.1rc5 (for MT7621) versions. The switch does not support other
ether-type0x88a8 or 0x9100 (only 0x8100 is supported) and notag-stacking. Using these features will disable HW offload.
