MikroTik Cloud Router Switch Reviews

Familiar RouterOS support, port isolation, flexible VLAN handling (tagging, untagging, rewriting, etc.).

Port isolation is great for shared networks where you want to keep it safe by not lettings people fake DHCP server.

Proper LACP support, more software support for hardware capabilities, true wirespeed Layer 3 routing.

2 years.

Doing this the old RouterOS way is straightforward, but it is not wirespeed then! So you need to learn some things in order to get the benefits, but it is worth it.

No.

Missing 9k jumbo frames and 10GigE support on CRS125. This is present on CRS2xx series, but CPU is faster on CRS125.

Mikrotik RB250 and RB260 switches - only 5 ports and interfaces is usable, but it is not RouterOS!

Initial setup was easy, but it did not reveal all the good things it can offer.

By myself.

SMC switches.

MIkrotik CRS switches are basically metro switches so overkill for the less complex installations.

I have been using the solution as a network switch.

This solution is very similar to the on-premises version making it easy to use for those who know the architect.

The user interface could improve and they should allow a license for IBS.

The installation is easy.

I did the implementation myself.

The price of the solution is fair and there is a one-time license purchase only.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate MikroTik Cloud Router Switch an eight out of ten.
