In addition to an RJ45 serial console port, this Cloud Router Switch comes with twenty-four 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, as well as two pairs of SFP+ cages, giving you the ability to conduct switching operations within the 1G-10G speed range.
On the inside, the CRS328-24P-4S+RM, which fits inside a 1U rackmount, has an 800 MHz CPU, a 512 MB RAM, and 16 MBs of flash storage. Also, this device has a 100-240 V AC 500 W built-in power supply, as well as different power output options, which are passive PoE, low voltage PoE, 802.3af/at (Type 1 “PoE”/Type 2 “PoE+”) with auto-sensing.
Furthermore, and quite importantly, this switch has a dual-boot feature, meaning you can use both RouterOS and SwitchOS (SwOS) for management and configuration. Ideally, if you're looking for a simplified OS interface only for switching purposes, opt for the latter. However, if you also have limited routing assignments and other layer 3 needs at hand, you'd be better off working with RouterOS.
