Suggestion for new switch: CRS317-9G-8S+RM

Tue Oct 08, 2024 9:41 pm

I wanna suggest a new switch model: CRS317-9G-8S+RM

Similar to CRS317-1G-16S+RM, same size, same dual power supply compatibility (including PW48V-12V85W) , but replacing 08 SFP+ ports by 08 gigabit ethernet ports, keeping same 1 gigabit ethernet for management.

Maybe it could be a little different: CRS317-8P-8S+RM, including PoE capability for the 08 gigabit ports

But Mikrotik needs to understand: most of wireless ISP use DC power on the towers, so use 220v AC is not useful. Most of times, we need to make arrangements to adapt the use of an external power supply. Compatibility with PW48V-12V85W would be great.

And, after all, keeping L3 hardware offload, using the same or similar chip as CRS317-1G-16S+RM. Great device :D

Agree. Like a CRS510 but full width, better CPU and more ports. Simmilar to a Cisco NCS540, Juniper ACX2000, Delta AGCV
