Hi,
i need som expert advice because i am new to Mikrotik switches,
I am thinking about getting a Mikrotik CRS312-4C+8XG-RM 10gbit swtich and replace my old HP switch 1gbit-baseT 24port. This is because our PCs need high speed networking due to big videofiles switching (video editing company) against our NAS (10gbit-baseT interface)
Our PC´s have 10gbit-baseT NICs however we also have other "standard" network devices witch uses standard 1gbit-baseT NIC´S like Wifi access point, printer and internet connection 1gbit) these devices will combined in the switch so my question is
-Is it possible with CRS312 to mix 10gbit and 1gbit interfaces? or will the speed be reduced to 1gbi for all ports or can you see other issues with this design with mixing 1gbit and 10gbit?
-If above is supported and i need more ports can i use a secondary CRS312 switch connected as uplink?
-to use the four combo interface must i use RouterOS or will it work with SwitchOS aswell?
Thank you,
Best Regards Wade
