Mikrotik switch with more ports

Wed Jul 07, 2010 5:38 pm

Hi.
I have few question about mikrotik switches.

Will mikrotik produce switch like RB250GS with more ports for example RB280GS? 8, 12, 16 ports?

And what about SFP?

Yes, we do have some ideas there. Nothing specific yet, so not soon.

Would just like to throw in my 2 cents here, we would swap out all of our cisco switches if there was a 24 port mikrotik solution in a heart beat. So please do :-)

that's a weird question to be posted on a mikrotik forum. just like most people here, omally01 believes we make good hardware without the cisco price

I also think that RB250GS is a good product, however after using it for some time, I miss some features that other similar switches have. Forgive me, if it seemed that I don't like your switch offering, this is not the case. I would also like to see a MikroTik switch with more ports, and advanced features.
I am curious what feature omally01 would use, that is not available in her/his current switch.

@Normis
I think it is a perfectly reasonable question to be asking - on any forum. Why would someone swap out existing working product? Is there some compelling Feature? Reliability? Compatibility?

@congo
I read omally01's post 1 month ago and thought the same thing!

An RB780 maybe with poe on all ports will be welcome.

congo, reverged - sell the one cisco and for the money, buy a whole armada of new mikrotik devices, and expand your business.

I have this vision of 8 RB250GS devices chasing a 24 port Cisco across the open seas......

I don't buy Cisco, and the Cisco switches I do manage won't sell for an armada's worth of anything.

I'm simply curious why someone would swap them out. I guess only the author can answer that.

As for a MT switch with more ports, I would use it. An 8 port PoE especially.

RB250GS but more ports. 8,16,24 giga ethernet + 1-2 SFP slots and all ports included poe injector in 1U rack case with external power on cable terminal.

maybe do two devices. First devices without the SFP but with PoE. Second devices with SFP without POE.

The first device for use in power routerboard antennas.
The second device for use FTTB. Optical fiber uplink to a block of flats and Ethernet customers.
But not less than 16 ports and built on the RB250. None RouterOS. Only SWOS for VLANs. Only L2 switch.

A new MT switch is 100% useless if the hardware is not capable of fixing a problem as simple and basic as the following...

http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=45721

Keep that in mind please.

You might be able to swap 1 Cisco for 100 RB switches, but in the end if they lack a VERY basic functionality that this Cisco switch has, then you will have 100 useless switches.

For us to sell more Mikrotik Switches we would need to see:

- CLI like RouterOS
- 8 and 24 port gigabit models with dual-personality (SFP/Copper) gigabit uplinks
- 802.3af POE on the 8/24 port models to power phones

...

For us I believe this would be completely necessary, if it is PoE and it isn't 802.3af then they will never be successful in smb->corporate. Along with this they would need to support 802.1p.

CLI would be very handy, either that or a way to quickly manage port configuration via the gui. 24-48 port switches need a method to mass change port configuration with ease otherwise it is too tedious (something like /interface ethernet range ether1-48) and also SFP/SFP+

For the datacenter/server space we'd be looking at some basic L3 routing and also 10 GbE interfaces as this is becoming more commonplace.

I wish MikroTik did in fact have a modular switch with 24, or 48 ports. Cat6 and SFP modules would be nice. If it had an interface range group command, that would be very beneficial, for fast configurations. I like the GUI on the routers, but it would be nice if there was a way to turn off the GUI. To reduce the CPU load on a switch.
