SwOS on a CRS-125

Tue Jan 08, 2019 8:20 pm

I am going to be moving all Layer-3 off of my CRS-125 and using it as a pure switch. I see the states indicate full line speed switching across ports when used as a switch vs. bridged. Can I run SwOS on a CRS-125 (I don't see an image for it in the d/l section), and if not, how can I ensure it is in switch mode across all ports?

SwOS isn't available for the CRS125.

To ensure it's in switch mode simply create a single bridge and have all ports (interfaces) as members of that bridge.

edit - I forgot mention you need to be running 6.41 or higher I think for that to work.

thanks - we are on the latest ( 6.43.8 ) so that shouldn't be a problem.

So you are saying that all I have to really do to move the CRS125 to be a hw-switch (right now, it is acting as a super simple AP router) is to move ether1 (WAN) into the main bridge (where all other interfaces are)?

Better yet, if I want to run it purely as a managed switch AND NOTHING ELSE, I should just revert to factory defaults and use QuickSet "WISP AP" with mode = Bridge?

A reset should do it for you. Quickset as WISP AP and make sure Bridge All LAN Ports is ticked.

Thanks! Do you know if this configuration on the CRS125 will hw offload switching for the wlan1 wireless interface?

I'm open to correction on this but I'm pretty sure there is no hardware offload for the wlan interface.

At least not on mine:

as the wifi interface is NOT on the same switch-chip as the eth ports, wifi will never have hardware-accelleration.
wifi will allways pass thru the cpu and is limited by the cpu performance
