Introduction to the Cloud Router Switch
The MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM is a cutting-edge Cloud Router Switch designed to meet the demands of modern networking environments. This device offers unparalleled flexibility with its dual boot option between SwOS and RouterOS operating systems. Whether you prefer a simplified switch-only OS or need advanced Layer 3 routing features on select ports, this switch accommodates your needs seamlessly.
Key Features of the MikroTik Cloud Router Switch 317
High-Speed Connectivity
Equipped with 16 SFP+ ports that support both SFP (1.25 Gb) and SFP+ (10 Gb) modules, this switch provides wire-speed performance across all ports regardless of Ethernet frame size. This makes it an ideal choice for data centers or large enterprise networks requiring high-bandwidth connections.
Dual Boot Capability
The “dual boot” feature allows users to choose between SwOS and RouterOS at startup. SwOS is perfect for those who want a straightforward switching experience focused on Layer 2 operations without unnecessary complexity. On the other hand, if you’re accustomed to using Winbox or require Layer 3 functionalities such as routing on specific ports within your setup, then booting into RouterOS is recommended.
Advanced Network Management
This Cloud Router Switch supports up to 4K simultaneous VLANs using IEEE802.1Q VLAN standards—offering extensive segmentation capabilities essential in managing large-scale networks efficiently. Additionally, it includes port isolation and security measures like MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol), RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol), LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol), broadcast storm control mechanisms.
Power Redundancy & Cooling System
Featuring dual redundant power supplies ensures that your network remains operational even if one supply fails—a critical feature in mission-critical environments where downtime can be costly. The passive cooling system keeps operations silent under normal conditions while automatically engaging fans when temperatures rise above thresholds—ensuring reliability across various ambient conditions from -20°C to +60°C.
