  1. For QCA8337, Atheros8327, Atheros8316, Atheros8227, and Atheros7240 the Tx/Rx rate limits can be changed with bandwidth property on "/interface ethernet" menu, see more details in the Ethernet manual. For RTL8367, 88E6393X, 88E6191X, MT7621 and MT7621 MT7531 Tx/Rx rate limit can be changed with egress-rate and ingress-rate properties on "/interface ethernet switch port" menu.
  2. 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. 
  3. 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-type 0x88a8 or 0x9100 (only 0x8100 is supported) and no tag-stacking. Using these features will disable HW offload.

PropertyDescription
disabled (no | yes; Default: no)Enables or disables switch VLAN entry.
independent-learning (no | yes; Default: yes)Whether to use shared-VLAN-learning (SVL) or independent-VLAN-learning (IVL). 
ports (name; Default: none)Interface member list for the respective VLAN. This setting accepts comma-separated values. e.g. ports=ether1,ether2.
switch (name; Default: none)Name of the switch for which the respective VLAN entry is intended for.
vlan-id (integer: 0..4095; Default:)The VLAN ID for certain switch port configurations.


Note

Devices with MT7621, MT7531, RTL8367, 88E6393X, 88E6191X switch chips support HW offloaded vlan-filtering in RouterOS v7. VLAN-related configuration on the "/interface ethernet switch" menu is not available. 

...

Note

Every switch chip has a finite number of MAC addresses it can store on the chip, see the Introduction table for a specific host table size. Once a host table is completely full, different techniques can be utilized to cope with the situation, for example, the switch can remove older entries to free space for more recent MAC addresses (used on QCA-8337 and Atheros-8327 switch chips), another option is to simply ignore the new MAC addresses and only remove entries after a timeout has passed (used on Atheros8316, Atheros8227, Atheros-7240,  ICPlus175D ICPlus175D and Realtek-RTL8367 switch chips), the last option is a combination of the previous two - only allow a certain amount of entries to be renewed and keep the other host portion intact till the timeout (used on MediaTek-MT7621, MT7531 switch chip). These techniques cannot be changed with configuration.

...

Warning

When allowing access to the CPU, you are allowing access from a certain port to the actual router/switch, this is not always desirable. Make sure you implement proper firewall filter rules to secure your device when access to the CPU is allowed from a certain VLAN ID and port, use firewall filter rules to allow access to only certain services.
