hello guys, do u know if the rb493 support the new feature switch on 4.2 Router OS version?? I saw in the wiki section and it doesnt say anything so Im asking u .


Best regards

What are you asking? What switch feature?

The switch chip has been supported since the RB493 came out... with version 3.x and every version since.

I think he ment the switching for VLAN's implemented in ROS 4.2 and placed in main menu under "switch" and no it does not work on any RB right now from my exp. maby switching chips dont have this ability jet ?

Ahh thanks, that wiki explains the problem well.

The RB493 and 493AH use the IP178C switch chip which is an 8 port version of the IP175C.

They both fit into the 'other' category in the wiki. I have seen the data sheet on these parts and there is some VLAN capability so it is possible that Mikrotik might add support in ROS for it.

ok thanks guys, so it will works as a managed layer3 switch.

Unfortunately RB493 supports only port switching feature. Currently there are no plans for other feature support for IP178C or IP175C switch chips.
