gateway=<interface_name>CPU/HW
/ip/route add dst-address=10.0.0.0/24 gateway=ether1 

This works only for directly connected networks. Since HW does not know how to send ARP requests,
CPU sends an ARP request and waits for a reply to find out a DST MAC address on the first received packet of the connection that matches a DST IP address.
After DST MAC is determined, HW entry is added and all further packets will be processed by the switch chip.

VLANHWRouting between VLAN interfaces that are created on hardware-offloaded bridge interface with vlan-filtering.7.1

IPv4 FirewallFWUsers must choose either HW-accelerated routing or firewall.
Firewall rules get processed by the CPU. Fasttrack connections get offloaded to HW.

IPv4 NATFWNAT rules applied to the offloaded Fasttrack connections get processed by HW too.7.1
MLAGN/A
 
VRFN/AOnly the main routing table gets offloaded. If VRF is used together with L3HW and packets arrive on a switch port with l3-hw-offloading=yes, packets can be incorrectly routed through the main routing table. To avoid this, disable L3HW on needed switch ports or use ACL rules to redirect specific traffic to the CPU.

QinQ and tag-stackingCPUStacked VLAN interfaces will lose HW offloading, while other VLANs created directly on the bridge interface can still use HW offloading.
