Question about CRS212-1G-10S-1SplusIN

Hello
according to the block diagram, I can use port 1-10 SFP to wire speed between them.

block diagram here: https://i.mt.lv/routerboard/files/CRS212-block-diagram-150219161427.pdf
I have an 10G uplink on the SFP+ port.

I have all ports switched, with SFP+ as master port.

can I achieve the max speed using hardware speed? I mean… I just want to use the CRS as switch, with all ports isolated between them, and they communicate with the SFP+ port.
everything at wire speed. I dont do any L3 functions.

all ports are connected to the same switch chip so they will all switch between them at wirespeed. The interface however only handles the layer 1 stuff.

Can i saturate the sfp+ port?

ofcourse you can, simply look at the benchmarks for the CRS for switching as there is one on routerboard’s website. With no switch filters the CRS performs at wirespeed.
