Looking at the documentation here, it looks like since this is a MediaTek-based device, the "hwnat enable" in this config block should enable hardware offloading for Bridging, DPI, NAT, VLANs, GRE, & PPPoE. I may be missing something though.

My EdgeRouter X SFP should be coming this week so I hope to get it set up using this. I already bought the SFP for ethernet from the link above, so crossing my fingers everything works as expected! Thanks for sharing!

Edit: It worked! After initially upgrading the firmware, I did get some warnings after loading this config.boot file. I also had to manually run both commands to enable hardware offloading, but in the end, it worked. Now I am just waiting on my PoE injector to get here, since I mistakenly thought the ER-X-SFP's passive 24V PoE supported the power needs of the UniFi 6 Lite.
