![]() ![]() MLAG (Multi-chassis Link Aggregation Group) implementation in RouterOS allows configuring LACP bonds on two separate devices, while the client device believes to be connected on the same machine. This provides a physical redundancy in case of switch failure. All CRS3xx series devices can be configured with MLAG. Layer3 hardware offloading (otherwise known as IP switching or HW routing) will allow to offload some of the router features on to the switch chip. This allows reaching wire speeds when routing packets, which simply would not be possible with the CPU. ![]() ![]() Offloaded feature set depends on the used chipset. ![]() Since RouterOS v6.43 is it possible to create a Private VLAN setup on CRS3xx series switches, an example can be found in the Switch chip port isolation manual page. Hardware offloaded bonding interfaces are not included in the switch port-isolation menu, but it is still possible to configure port-isolation individually on each secondary interface of the bonding. IGMP/MLD SnoopingĬRS3xx series switches are capable of using IGMP/MLD Snooping on a hardware level. SFP cage supports both 1.25 Gb SFP and 10 Gb SFP+ modules.To see more detailed information, you should check out the IGMP/MLD snooping manual page. 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! ![]()
