Hello Mikrotik Community,
I’m looking for the solution to ensure routing on a stick for 250 VLANs in our new deployment in the hospitality brand. Additional the router should to be able to provide DHCP service (30 IP addresses pool per VLAN) for each of these VLANs and should be able to perform source NAT for all devices connected to these VLANs to the Internet. There will be aproximetly 600-800 devices distributed in all 250 VLANs, estimated trafic to Internet in peak ~ 600Mbps (DL) / 200 Mbps (UL).
Which MT solution can meet above requirements?
My guess is that you should be going for some higher-end solutions: RB1100AHx4 or CCR series (a CCR1016 would probably do), depending on which kind of interface you need to connect router to the rest of network (1Gbps copper or 1Gbps SFP or 10Gbps SFP+).
Performance-wise a RB4011iGS+RM would do as good as RB1100AHx4, but that one is meant as high-end SOHO device … with single power supply (using external power adapter) and “weird” form factor.
Hello mkx,
Thank you for comment. I prefer to connect LAN-side of router to aggregation switch/switches via SFP+ (10G link). The redundancy for power supply is also important, so I think to use CCR1036-8G-2S+. What do you think about it?
Personally I don’t have any experience with this particular model. Hopefully some other user will chime in.
The Mikrotik CCR is a quality choice for your application. We have one setup that we use along with network segmentation using Mikrotik CSS326-24G-2S-RM Switches. These switches are a very cost effective item that provides a very simple setup with total port isolation. This is a benefit in public isolation in a motel environment. The added benefit is that if you wish you can install a fiber backbone to all the switches and have total management from your CCR.
