Hello!
I will be setting up a few offices with new network and I'm looking towards CSR125 for a "all-in-one" solution to solve my problems. Before I go into buying the equipment, I have some questions:
- Is it possible to mount custom rack brackets to the side of the switch in have in in a rack? On some pictures I saw holes on the side...
- it is possible to detach antennas? What kind of connector do they use?
- If it's not, are antennas removable? In that case I would just create a custom pigtail to extend antennas.
I would need the following functions:
- router, switch and wlan capability
- 3-4 VLANs (privat lan, public lan, Wifi, VOIP)
- VirtualAPs (privat and public use)
- simple firewall with around 10 rules
- hotspot ( probably max 10-15 users, mostly 0-5)
- user manager(radius)
- 1-2 VPN links (OpenVPN) (connection to main building and maintenance, very low traffic)
- DHCP server
- a few Queues to limit public users
Will the switch be able to do that or is it too weak? My WAN link is 10/5 and I expect it to route at that speed. It would be nice to have some reserve in case I ever upgrade to higher speeds.
How's the stability of the switch? I know it's a relativly new product and I have read reports of it not performing as it should. Have those problems been fixed by now or are they still a problem?
Is this switch ready for production or should I go another way?
The other alternative so far is a RB2011 + RB951G-2HnD. Would that be a better and more stable solution?
