MLAG in RouterOS enables physical redundancy by configuring LACP bonds across two devices, allowing the client to perceive a single connection while ensuring failover. It uses ICCP for peer communication, supports STP protocols, and requires careful VLAN configuration on dedicated ports. MLAG is CPU-intensive for large networks, and compatibility with L3 offloading or MVRP is limited

This page explains the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) in MikroTik RouterOS, detailing how it prevents network loops by selecting a root bridge and optimizing port usage through Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs). It emphasizes manual configuration for larger networks and provides monitoring commands to check STP status on bridges and ports.
