Okay! Got it. But i mean to say that can't I upload SwOS instead of RoS on this routerboard? Thanks.CRS1XX/2XX are RoS devices, not SwOS.
Okay! i disappointed to know this as i thought all Mikrotik smart switches come with SwOS operating system. Totally waste my money on this. Thanks.No, you can't.
There are 3 families of Mikrotik switches:Okay! i disappointed to know this as i thought all Mikrotik smart switches come with SwOS opeating system. Totally waste my money on this. Thanks.
Thanks for keep supporting. I know RoS has more configuration features than SwOS, but some features i didn't get in RoS what i see with SwOS such as port isolation, port forwarding, port locking, port mirroring, bandwidth limit etc. Thanks.There are 3 families of Mikrotik switches:Okay! i disappointed to know this as i thought all Mikrotik smart switches come with SwOS opeating system.

- CSS: that run SwOS
- CRS1XX/2XX: that run RoS
- CRS3XX: that allow dual-boot (you can choose what os to run) - except for CRS354 for which there is no SwOS yet.
Anyway, why is that such a problem?
Everything that can be configured in SwOS can be configured in RoS as well (but not the other way around).
All is there, in switch menu, with far more possibilities to fine-tune, than in SwOS.Thanks for keep supporting.

Yes! I completely agreed with you. Also, thanks a lot for providing links to know more about CRS1xx series switches and its configurations. I really appreciated your assistance on this to me.

CRS1XX/2XX is even more "powerful" in this field, than CRS3XX that runs RoS.
But that comes at it's own price (literally too) - but mainly it's the complexity of configuration.
Here are some example configurations:

Huge dissapoinment
Thanks for pointing this out, the product page is now corrected.Huge dissapoinment as in Mikrotik page (https://mikrotik.com/product/crs112_8p_4s_in) is is clearly showing: "Operating System RouterOS / SwitchOS"
