Today I learned that the difference between CSS, CRS and CCR; The Cloud Smart Switch (CSS) series is the only device of the three that cannot use RouterOS.
Being so use to RouterOS, I took my new CSS326-24G-2S+ out box, and tried to mac-telnet and even winbox into it only to find out that you can only manage the box over HTTP (correct me of I'm wrong).
I would like to use this device at the edge of my network. That is, this will be the only fabric between my core router and the upstream provider equipment (i.e. public facing interface).
That being said, what are your thoughts on placing this device at public edge of of a network? Is this safe?
I have already tested the "Allow from" feature and confirmed that the switch is not accessible from a port that has this option unchecked.
Any comments on best practice would be very helpful.
