+.. cfgcmd:: set interface ethernet <interface> switchdev
+
+ Switches this interface to `switchdev` mode that allows network interfaces to offload
+ certain networking functions directly to hardware, like a network switch or a SmartNIC.
+ This enables higher performance and lower latency for network processing by
+ bypassing the kernel's network stack for supported operations.
+
+.. note:: This is only supported on certain physical network interfaces
+ and depends on specific models and drivers.

+.. note:: This is most likely only relevant for virtual installations:
+
+ When installing VyOS ensure that the MAC address selected for your NICs is
+ not a locally administered MAC address. Locally administered addresses are
+ distinguished from universally administered addresses by setting (assigning
+ the value of 1 to) the second-least-significant bit of the first octet of
+ the address:
+
+ Example: ``02:00:00:00:00:01``, where the second-least-significant bit
+ (``02`` in hex) is set to ``1``.
