Validate requirements for Mikrotik switch

Thu Jul 19, 2018 10:38 am

Hello,

I'm looking at purchasing a CRS326-24G-2S+RM and would like to check that it's able to do all I need. As far as I understand it should, but given the fact that I'm very new to mikrotik, feedback from an experienced user would be highly appreciated.

In one of our remote sites, we plan to use CRS326-24G-2S+RM to do a LAN with 2 vLANs and also terminate an IPSEC tunnel on the device and provide basic routing functionality for both vLANs and the network it would connect to over VPN. As well, the device should do NAT for the two vLANs if they attempt to reach internet over. For upstream connectivity, a single internet uplink is provided (ie VPN will be established over that).

Thanks in advance,
Andrei

CRS is primarily a switch, with a fairly weak CPU which means limited other capabilities i.e. routing, IPSEC etc.
It will work, but it depends how much performance you are expecting as to whether it will be adequate.
