CRS326 - SWoS or RoS

RouterOS General
1

I’m about to have a RB5009UPr+S+IN delivered which will replace a HEX RB750Gr3.

I have a CRS326 connected to the HEX, this will of course connect to the 5009.

I also have some Mikrotik APs that will connect directly to the 5009 to take advantage of PoE

My question is, on the CRS, should I run SWoS or RoS?

I will be running VLANs in the near future

Thoughts please…

SWOS is pretty easy and straightforward but
I would still go for ROS since it is A LOT more flexible then SWOS.

I agree. ROS for CRS326.
And you need to upgrade it to v7+. The CPU only count 1 on v6, while on ROS v7+ its count 2.
