There isn't a lot of info about this switch out there aside a couple videos, including one review with a guy drinking beer, one with guy with a dry erase board, and some cell phone video of someone else rambling. I thought about getting Mikrotik's new 8 ports sfp+ switch, but really I didn't need that many ports in that configuration by my servers. So I ended up with the smaller 4 port 10gbe switch which made more sense.
When my house switch died, I decided to move the CSS326-24G-2S+RM 24 gig/2 10gbe switch into it's place. I was using the mikrotik CSS326-24G-2S+RM 24 port switch by my servers to bridge 2 10gbe connections between them (one for the main server, the other for a video editing vm on another.) And yes, I know I could do direct cabling (which I've done), but then the other devices on the network trying to access the server would be bottlenecked by a single gigabit connection.
OK, so the reason I bought this little switch is because my main, old, Cisco/linksys 24 port switch died a pathetic death. You don't have to read this reasoning of why I bought this: less than stellar mikrotik experience is detailed here: SFP cage supports both 1.25 Gb SFP and 10 Gb SFP+ modules.Either I'm a glutton for punishment or just cheap, but I've purchased another Mikrotik switch, the 4 10gbe port (+1 1gig port) little guy.įor a refresher, my previous. It gives you all the basic functionality for a managed switch, plus more: allows to manage port-to-port forwarding, apply MAC filter, configure VLANs, mirror traffic, apply bandwidth limitation and even adjust some MAC and IP header fields. You can select the desired operating system from RouterOS, from SwOS or from the RouterBOOT loader settings. If you are used to Winbox and would like the ability to use routing and other Layer 3 features on some ports in your CRS, boot and use RouterOS. If you prefer to have a simplified switch only OS with more switch specific features, use SwOS. It has “Dual boot” feature that allows you to choose which operating system you prefer to use, RouterOS or SwOS. SwOS/RouterOS powered 24 port Gigabit Ethernet switch with two SFP+ ports, wire speed connectivity with several new switching features!
