A home network setup doesn’t have to be a compromise. This compact and quiet switch is packing some serious server room grade features: a pair of 10G SFP+ cages, 512 MB of RAM, 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports and a sufficient built-in CPU that can handle basic home user needs such as firewall, NAT and even some VPN. Like many other MikroTik switches, CRS326-24G-2S+IN offers the dual boot option that allows you to use either the lightweight SwOS or the advanced RouterOS. The compact and quiet fanless desktop case makes this switch the perfect addition to the best home setups. And it is very easy to transport! But make no mistake – this small switch has all the power and features of its bigger rackmount analogue – the CRS326-24G-2S+RM, nothing has been removed! CRS326-24G-2S+IN provides all the basic functionality for a managed switch, and even more: port-to- port forwarding, MAC filtering, VLAN configuration, traffic mirroring, bandwidth limitation and even adjust some MAC and IP header fields. SFP+ cage supports both 1.25G SFP and 10G SFP+ modules.

Super advanced at a bargain price – for prosUnreal features and software tools included – Highly recommended!I had to add a fan to use the 10 Gb CAT 7 Sfp as it gets too hot.I now have a 10 Gb fiber feed from house to shop and 1 Gb WAN connection. This is a hard core router and you will need to be a trained IT professional to tap its potential.I am studying hard to understand how to get three MikroTik routers to do all the things I want out of my home computer lab – I’m trying to train myself. Should have gone back to school but I’m really learning a lot.

A lot of switch for the price!This is a fantastic switch, especially given the price point and features, such as 10 GbE SFP+ interfaces and full RouterOS support (although the optional SwitchOS will likely work well for most users). I have it connected via SFP+ to an RB4011 supporting several VLANs, bonded interfaces, and many other capabilities.

It’s the CRS326 rackmount in desktop chassis form.Not really much else to add. Same old reliable switch, same stupid power brick, new form factor.

Très bon produitToujours un plaisir d’administrer un équipement Mikrotik.C’est le seul switch 24 ports capable de tenir dans un mini-rack que j’ai trouvé.
