With the software selection feature, you can choose which four combo ports will be active, even if all eight cables are plugged in. The switch comes in a 1U rackmount case with two power supplies that provide failover functionality. This means that if one power supply fails, the other will automatically take over, ensuring uninterrupted operation. For management and debugging, there is a RJ45 console port available. Additionally, the mode button can be customized to execute any RouterOS commands, making it a versatile tool for network administrators. One of the standout features of this switch is the “Dual boot” functionality. This allows you to choose between two operating systems: RouterOS or SwOS. If you prefer a simplified operating system with only switch-specific features, use SwOS. However, if you want to utilize routing and other Layer 3 functions in your CRS, opt for RouterOS. You can select your desired operating system from the RouterOS settings or from the RouterBOOT loader. With its disruptive price and best price/performance ratio on the market, the MikroTik CRS328-4C-20S-4S RM Switch offers an excellent value for its features and capabilities.
