Summary of documentation changes made on July 14, 2026.

Bridging & Switching​

• L3 hardware offloading: Documented hardware-offloaded VRF support. A new "Hardware-Offloaded VRF" section lists which switch chips support it (98DX8xxx, 98DX4xxx, 98DX325x, 98CX8410, 98DX7xxx) and which do not (98DX3xxx, 98DX2xxx), the per-chip VRF table limits (512 or 1024), interface-association rules, and VRF assignment on ingress traffic via the new-vrf option in /interface/ethernet/switch/rule. The Marvell Prestera switch chip features page gained a matching VRF entry.
• Bridge: Added a "DHCP Snooping Binding Table" section describing the DHCPv4 snooping binding database built on top of /interface/bridge/host, including the dhcpv4-status, dhcpv4-ip, dhcpv4-server-id, and dhcpv4-expires-after fields, MAC–VLAN identification under VLAN filtering, and WinBox/console screenshots.

Containers​

• Containers: Normalized the property table's type/default formatting, fixed numbered-list indentation that was rendering incorrectly, and corrected minor grammar.

Bridging & Switching​

• L3 hardware offloading: Color-coded the HW/CPU/N/A/FW labels in the feature-support table for easier scanning, and fixed several small typos.

Summary of documentation changes made on July 10, 2026.

Bridging & Switching​

• Bridge: Restructured the bridge hardware-offloading support table into separate, grouped per-chip-class tables for easier reading, and normalized switch chip names (for example QCA-8337 → QCA8337).
• Switch chip features: Transposed and simplified the switch chip features table.

Authentication & AAA​

• Dot1x: Renamed the reauth-timeout property to reauth-period to match RouterOS.

Summary of documentation changes made on July 9, 2026.

Bridging & Switching​

• Bridge IGMP/MLD snooping: Added the querier-uses-bridge-address bridge setting (default yes), which makes the bridge IGMP querier use the bridge interface's own IPv4 address as the source for query packets instead of 0.0.0.0. Some multicast clients reject queries from 0.0.0.0, which could interrupt multicast streams when snooping entries time out. It applies only to IPv4 (IGMP) when igmp-snooping and multicast-querier are enabled and the bridge has an IPv4 address; MLD queries always use the bridge's IPv6 link-local address.

Management Tools​

• Console: Merged the separate "Command Line Interface" page into the Console page so all CLI/console material lives in one place, updating cross-references from the Scripting, Bluetooth, and MQTT pages accordingly, and fixed a small formatting issue in the Quick Typing section.

Developer Guides​

• Scripting: Documented the order-by parameter for the print command, which sorts output by up to three properties (prefix a property with - for descending order), with examples.

High Availability Solutions​

• VRRP: Added the v3-checksum-as-v2 setting, which controls whether the VRRPv3 IPv4 checksum includes the IPv4 pseudoheader. The default (no) matches Linux-based implementations such as FRR; set it to yes for compatibility with Cisco and other vendors. It applies only to VRRPv3 IPv4, and all routers in a Virtual Router must use the same value to avoid "bad checksum" errors.

Getting Started​

• Default Configuration Passwords: New page explaining where to find a device's unique factory default password (serial-number stickers, packaging, Quick Guide, product-information compartment on some indoor wireless devices) and what to do if it cannot be located.
• RouterOS configuration reset: Expanded with salvaged knowledge-base material.
• Upgrade server and CHR on AWS: New pages added.

Diagnostics & Monitoring​

• Downgrading RouterOS: New page covering the factory-software floor, a pre-downgrade checklist (binary backup plus export), and a step-by-step downgrade procedure using /system/package/downgrade.

Hardware​

• Try before RMA: New page added from knowledge-base salvage.

Wireless​

• WiFi: Added a "Network" section documenting the /interface/wifi/network menu, which bundles SSID, security, datapath, and radio settings into a single configuration entity applied to interfaces matching its labels, with configuration examples including Multi-Link Operation (MLO).

Site-wide​

• Property tables: Fixed fenced code blocks that the Confluence→Docusaurus migration had flattened into single table cells (showing as raw ```ros<br/> text) across 11 pages, including Disks, Scripting, Log, LTE/5G, NTP, L2TP, PPPoE, and WiFi interworking. They now render as inline code.

Summary of documentation changes made on July 6, 2026.

Bridging & Switching​

• Bridge: Documented the valid-value stepping rules for STP/MSTP priority fields. Bridge and MSTI priorities must be set in steps of 4096 (0x1000) — the 12 lowest bits are ignored — with the full list of valid hex/decimal values; bridge port and MST-override port priorities must be set in steps of 16 (0x10) and now use an explicit 0x00–0xf0 value set. Also fixed the port-cost-mode path-cost reference table, which was broken during migration, rendering it as a proper collapsible table with both Long and Short columns.
• Spanning Tree Protocol: Applied the same priority stepping and valid-value details to the CIST/MSTI/port priority descriptions.

System​

• Neighbor discovery: Added an "LLDP neighbors" section documenting the read-only /ip/neighbor/lldp menu, which shows detailed LLDP TLVs (chassis ID, port ID, system name/description) for LLDP-discovered neighbors only, with example output and a note that the lldpRemTable SNMP table excludes CDP/MNDP-only entries.

Summary of documentation changes made on July 3, 2026.

Search​

• Improved search ranking: Exact and whole-word page-title matches now rank at the top of the results, and full pages rank above section headings. Searching for a page's name (for example "Connectivity") now returns that page first, instead of unrelated headings that merely share a word stem ("Connecting", "Connections"). The MikroTik Connectivity page also gained search keywords so it surfaces for eSIM-related queries.

Summary of documentation changes made on June 30, 2026.

Bridging & Switching​

• Bridging & Switching: Reordered the section's sidebar into a more logical sequence — switch-chip feature pages (Marvell Prestera, Other Switch Chip Features, CRS1xx/2xx) grouped together, followed by L3 Hardware Offloading, Quality of Service, MACsec, MACVLAN, VXLAN, and VLAN. The "Switch Chip Features" page is now labelled "Other Switch Chip Features" in the navigation.

Summary of documentation changes made on June 29, 2026.

Diagnostics & Monitoring​

• Netwatch: Complete rewrite of the Netwatch documentation. Reorganized by probe type (Simple, ICMP, TCP-conn, HTTP-GET, HTTPS-GET, DNS), each with a dedicated configuration example and WinBox screenshot. Consolidated general configuration notes into a single section covering script execution, permissions, and default values.
