I have noticed that none of the CRS5xx devices have SwitchOS on its supportlist.
What are the odds that SWOS will indeed show up for these devices or are CRS3xx and CSS6xx the last ones to get SWOS support?
Im thinking of:
- CRS504-4XQ-IN
- CRS504-4XQ-OUT
- CRS510-8XS-2XQ-IN
- CRS518-16XS-2XQ-RM
- CRS520-4XS-16XQ-RM
MikroTik is focusing SWOS on the more basic switch lines like the CSS and some CRS3xx models, while pushing RouterOS for the higher-end or more flexible gear like the 5xx series.
Too bad since SWOS is really nice for regular L2-features.
Both maintenance and the learning curve is way lower than with RouterOS.
Not to mention the boot times
