- 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 and 88E6393X 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 version(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.

Port mirroring lets the switch to copy all traffic that is going in and out of one port (mirror-source) and send out these copied frames to some other port (mirror-target). This feature can be used to easily set up a 'tap' device that receives all traffic that goes in/out of some specific port. Note that mirror-source and mirror-target ports have to belong to the same switch (see which port belongs to which switch in/interface ethernetmenu). Also, mirror-target can have a special 'cpu' value, which means that mirrored packets should be sent out to the switch chips CPU port. Port mirroring happens independently of switching groups that have or have not been set up.
