Otherwise this switch would be my hottest candidate. Cisco SG350 and upgrade to SG350X, in fact I went in opposite direction from SG350X which I would loved to have to just SG350 and the reason was declared noise level produced by builtin fan on SG350X. Anyway, you convinced me that the hardware is pretty capable, now the question is how good (i.e. throughput” is kind of limited to ~45 Gbps. capacity” provides this, but “Switching …. This leads to 24 * 2 + 2 * 20 = 88 Gbps switching capacity. I’m counting with full-duplex hence twice the port speed. On the other hand if you count with required switching capacity for provided ports, then you have 24 x 2Gbits + 2x 20Gbits. You are right that L2 switching numbers are way higher than 元 bridging/routing numbers. Thanks a lot for your comment which lead me to another investigation and I’ve found you are partially right. Typically, MikroTik is extremely aggressive with pricing in this segment which could make this a great option.īeyond these options, MikroTik also has three new rackmount switches that are going to be unique as they hit the market.

The MikroTik MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S+PC has 8x SFP+ ports and a single 1GbE port. MikroTik CRS309-1G-8S+PCįor those who have noise constraints, there is a new passive cooling 10GbE switch on the market. Most of the 4x SFP+ switches we have seen to date have 24-48x 1GbE ports as well. This is really intriguing to see as it is a product designed for 10GbE at the edge. The MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+IN also features a metallic case for edge deployments. The company has a 4x SFP+ plus 1x 1GbE port model. MikroTik CRS305-1G-4S+INĪt the other end of the spectrum is something truly unique. We loved the MikroTik CRS226-24G-2S+RM but this is a major step up on all counts. This is certainly moving up the stack for MikroTik which is welcome. If you are looking to power access points or 1080p / 4K video cameras, this is an intriguing rackmount solution that has significant upstream ports for storage or LAN/ WAN access. There is another variant, the MikroTik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+ which has PoE on the 48x 1GbE ports. On the MikroTik CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+, the 48x 1GbE ports are standard ports. The SFP+ ports are for 10GbE and the QSFP+ ports are for 40GbE. These switches have 48x 1GbE ports but also 4x SFP+ and 2x QSFP+ ports. The first switches we wanted to touch on are the CRS354 series. This is a major expansion of the MikroTik switch range. We have an overview on the new models which count seven total. MikroTik is seizing this opportunity to drastically expand its high-end 10GbE and 40GbE switch lineup. As a result, the 10GbE/ 40GbE segment is becoming commoditized. Traditional network switch vendors are focused on the 25GbE/ 50GbE/ 100GbE transition. At MUM Europe the company announced a new fleet of switches as it takes on the higher-end market segments.
