MikroTik RouterOS SMIPS Firmware 6.41 Description

Important note!!! Backup before upgrade!

- RouterOS (v6.40rc36-rc40 and) v6.41rc1+ contains new bridge implementation that supports hardware offloading (hw-offload).
- This update will convert all interface "master-port" configuration into new bridge configuration, and eliminate "master-port" option as such.
- Bridge will handle all Layer2 forwarding and the use of switch-chip (hw-offload) will be automatically turned on based on appropriate conditions.
- The rest of RouterOS Switch specific configuration remains untouched in usual menus for now.
- Please, note that downgrading to previous RouterOS versions will not restore "master-port" configuration, so use backups to restore configuration on downgrade.
