Hello,

Any progress on when we can expect the CRS in our hands?

Wouldn't mind seeing some information on price either.

MUM US Sep 19-20 in St. Louis.....

.....There will be two full days of workshops and presentations, including LIVE demonstration of Cloud Router Switch 125 and CCR1036-8G-2S+ with SFP+ ports!


Looks promising....

i hope soon.

Info from prezentation

when will for buy?

I just preordered 6 of them. They said probably 10-14 days.

Sweet ... the CRS125-24G-1S-2HnD-IN is going to be a very nice option for small businesses.

What is power consumption of CRS?

Maximum power usage, with fully loaded ports -> 15W with no Wireless, 18W with wireless (at maximum tx power). In normal operation it will be much less, around half that, depending on number of used ports etc.

It looks really good, are there any plans to make a version with more memory?
This source suggests that it can support up to 256MB.
I do not really need it, but more is usually better, and I will not be buying one for the next few months anyway.

Normis, do we have any additional details on the total Switching Capacity on the new CRS125-24G units?

By saying "Fully manageable L3 switch, full wire speed switching" it comes across that this thing has 1000*2*25=50Gbps of forwarding performance, which would make it the best priced 25port non-blocking switch on the market. I'd appreciate any confirmation on performance and any block-diagram you might have available.

I think you are over-complicating things.

all the CRS features can be divided into 2 big groups
1) switch-chip hardware features (anyone knows a part number?) - these features will always run on wire-speed.
2) RouterOS v6 software features - these features are limited by CPU performance and connection speed between CPU and switch-chip.

Please look at the block diagram, for more details on how this device is made

@ Normis, Thank you.

@macgaiver, I am totally new to MikroTik hardware and software, so please excuse any ignorance on my part. That makes sense and is a simpler way to look at it. Assuming full duplex speeds then the switch side should be capable of a theoretical 50Gbps forwarding performance, while routing is limited to 1Gbps minus whatever hit it takes from the CPU.

Thanks for the info! Now all I have to do is wait for a these to arrive to distributors and snatch one up

(anyone knows a part number?)

Yep
This is "QCA 8513L"
