Just got my CRS226-24G-2s+RM!

Still working on initial config, but here are some pics!

No fans even, very nice! :smiley:

Got one yesterday! Configured as L2 switch, sfp+2 as master, everything else slave and no ip forwarding. I hope to do some performance testing this weekend linked with 10G fibre to my ccr and link aggregation on a few other devices. :slight_smile:

Maybe you can help me get mine configured. I’m trying to run as a L2 switch carrying multiple VLANs, but I can’t get my management IP to respond across the trunk from my router. Any help is appreciated!

I don’t have any need for vlans yet but for management I put a private ip on the master-port of the switch. I am new to forum posting so forgive if i am not using the right forum “codes”.
From CLI I did:

interface ethernet set 0,1,2,3,4,5 (and so on to 25) master-port=sfpplus2
ip settings set ip-forward=no
ip address add address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 (or whatever you need) interface=sfpplus2

Also console cable and minicom/hyper terminal to keep me from locking myself out

Finally got it working this morning. Not sure what I did differently from yesterday, but the MIP is now accessible. I still appear to have other issues routing to certain VLANs, but now that the MIP is available to the rest of the network, I can lock it down through RADIUS.

Also got the thing mounted to a 3U vertical wall bracket under my desk. I’ll put a pic up later tonight.

Ok, here’s an update…

I’ve now confirmed with a Kill-a-watt that my CRS226 uses between 7-10W with CPU under 5% (my current idle load). I’ve also upgraded my office set up…

Behind the CRS226 is a CyberPower 1.5 KVA UPS (1U rackmount).

Connected to it is an emachines T5086 (used a 8TB FreeNAS), 3x Raspberry Pi (domain controller, mail server, VoIP server), another shoebox-sized server (don’t remember the brand) as a backup domain controller, and an analog phone adapter (all the way at the very top…not easily visible in picture)

Also hooked up to this is my new iMac

You’d think my electric bill with all this would be pretty bad…but according to the Kill-a-watt, my normal working usage is only…

209 Watts!

PS…I know the wiring looks like crap. I’ll get around to fixing it one of these days…

What is the total switching capacity of this switch? I mean to say, can it handle two 10 gig SFP+ links with all other 24 ports almost utilizing full 1 gig bandwidth each ?

Yes, the switch chip has a so called non-blocking design. That means each port can be used simultaniously full-duplex.
