Good evening (o;
Just being curios about this switch if it might be a good device for replacing a Ubiquity switch…
Basically just needing 10GB uplink for my CRS309 switch…
I’ve read some bad reviews about it that the GUI is unusable and that there is no CLI…and the Mikrotik website tells that it has only SNMP v1 support…
So is it better to go with the CRS326 model? Even if no routing is needed?
thanks in advance

I am not a real fan of swOS, i would suggest you the CRS328, more expensive though…
Hmm..I see that the CRS328 is the same as the CRS326 but just with passive/802.3af PoE?
Is there any performance impact using RouterOS on a switch instead of SwOS?
The CRS328 is probably much louder than the CRS326 due to the 500W rated power supply…
swOS is used only in switch products and gives you only the basic functionality for your configuration…
Well as long as they don’t use buggy Atheros SoC inside it is fine…maybe I order a small SwOS model just to play with it…
Speaking of playing…I still need to figure out how to add VLANs, trunks and access/native ports to my CRS309 switches…so much easier with Cisco IOS and JunOS (o;

There is a lot information and examples about VLANs in the wiki…
Yes…read a little through it…odd it is dependant on switch model type…well at least one CRS309 is not doing much at the moment so time to play with it…
but so far I couldn’t get any ether channel bundling up with 3rd party switches…so I sold the Ubiquity switch (o;
Hmm..some 4506 are lying around to test with it 
Anyway…thanks for your experience/suggestions…so far this forum was always a great help 
I guess the interface reflects internal structures almost verbatim. But then … MT introduced new, unified (and IMHO simplified), way of configuring VLANs … and it happens to allow full HW acceleration on CRS3xx product family. A forum user wrote a great tutorial about it. In CRS just skip the routing part of tutorial and focus on VLANs …
