Can run OSPF on CRS326-24G-2S+RM

[April]

Hi guys, Can I run ospf on CRS326-24G-2S+RM. I want to use it as a layer 3 Distribution Switch in my network. Thanks.

Yes you can. With RouterOS only though.

OSPF is a routing protocol. Requires a router. When run under SwitchOS, the CRS326 is functioning as a switch - not a router.

also all routing is done in CPU - CPU’s are quite limited in the switches. You may not get much data routed on a switch.
