MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+RM Cloud Router Switch

The 24-port Gigabit Ethernet switch, powered by SwOS/RouterOS, offers wire-speed connectivity with a range of new switching features. It boasts a "Dual Boot" capability, allowing users to choose between the RouterOS and SwOS operating systems according to their preferences.

If you prefer a simplified switch-centric OS with more switch-specific features, the SwOS option is the way to go. Alternatively, if you're familiar with Winbox and would like the ability to utilize routing and other Layer 3 functionalities on some ports in your CRS, you can opt for the RouterOS.

The choice of operating system can be made from within RouterOS, SwOS, or the RouterBOOT loader settings. This versatile switch provides a comprehensive set of management capabilities, including the ability to configure port-to-port forwarding, apply MAC filtering, set up VLANs, mirror traffic, impose bandwidth limitations, and even adjust MAC and IP header fields.

The SFP cage supports both 1.25 Gb SFP and 10 Gb SFP+ modules, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of fiber optic network devices. The 24 Gigabit ports, complemented by 2 SFP+ cages, are housed in a compact 1U rackmount case, making it an ideal solution for various networking environments.

Whether you prefer the simplicity of a switch-focused OS or the versatility of a routing-enabled platform, this SwOS/RouterOS-powered switch offers a flexible and feature-rich solution to meet your networking needs.
