You speak better "R" than we do it in Poland :D Have a nice day. Great video!

Hello!
That's more complicated than any routing protocol for sure 😄

I’d love to see if you could see how to get storm control or loop protect work. That’s my biggest concern right now with the CRS3XX switches

[@TheNetworkTrip]

Thank you! I will explore these topics in the future for sure. Stay tuned. There are some restrictions with hardware offloading that we need to be aware of.

[@Joshv918]

Hardware offloading just doesn’t support that. All that skipping the CPU.

[@Joshv918]

@@TheNetworkTrip thank you… I’ve learned 87% of what I know from your videos FYI. You are a great instructor. Appreciate it so much!

thanks so much for sharing the knowdge........
I have ccr2116 and as you kno that every 4 ports are connected into one pin to switch chip , can I put 8 ports under one bridge..?
Thanks in advance

[@TheNetworkTrip]

Hello!
The CCR2116 has all ports, except ether 13, connected to the switch chip, as shown here: cdn.mikrotik.com/web-assets/product_files/CCR2116-12G-4S_240122.png
You can safely add all those ports to the same bridge and use either L2 or L3 hardware offloading. I have a video on L3 hardware offloading where I demonstrate the actual configuration process.
