CSS610-8G-2S+IN

Sat Mar 25, 2023 11:47 am

hello
i don't know if this is the right place but the CSS610-8G-2S+IN switch should not exist when the CSS326-24G-2S+RM exists
30$ more will get you 3x more ports and a better SWOS
the swos lite is a sham , how much processing would it take to name a VLAN ?!!

bought 15 CSS610-8G-2S+IN without noticing the swos lite thingy ( never heard of it anyway ) and now im forced to use them as dummy switches cuz they dont belong elsewhere

Or you can spend less and get less. Funny, that.

The differences go beyond those two points, though. If I were in the CSS market — and I'm not; CRS for me, all the way — the option to have a modern platform in half the width with a wider PoE range would make the CSS610 more attractive to me in places where I could accept the lower port count.

how much processing would it take to name a VLAN

Of all the feature differences between full-fat SwOS and the Lite version, that's the one that causes them to devolve to "dummy switches" in your environment? I would think one of the top-line features listed here would matter more, if anything did.

Well, I like the smaller offerings sometimes. The frustration comes because this switch does not have RouterOS. I wish they would just put RouterOS on everything and have the option of SwOS for those that feel the need.

Don´t agree:
-you might just have read the docs before buying it
-the SwOS is minimalistic, but still enables me to use vlans and doing that very simply & I never experienced a crash
-yes ROS is better, but it needs much more CPU, RAM, Flash
-for me, most importantly: CSS610 consumes 5W without counting the SFPs
