I am wanting to find a 16 or 24 port Hardware device that I can load MT onto to be a L3 switch/router
The biggest routerboard has is the RB493
Anybody done this or know where to find such hardware?
Thanks
Steve
Why would you want to use MT as a layer 2 or 3 switch? RouterOS doesn't provide any ethernet error stats which makes it not very capable. A much better solution would be a Cisco or HP switch which is designed to be a switch and has all the features needed on a switch.We can setup a solution like this for you and ship it with a high-end MT system. We have done several PowerRouter 732 with 24 and 48 port managed switches all setup ready to go out of the box. Don't know if this will help, else any MT consultant should be able to do this for you as well.
By interface I mean user interface not physical interface...Why doesn't MT offer to "master" third party hardware like HP Procurve? This would allow you to build a data center solution using one interface.
