In this video, we check out the MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+RM switch which offers 24x 1GbE PoE/ PoE+ ports along with 4x 10GbE SFP+ ports for under $380. This is not an under-powered PoE switch. Instead, it can provide up to 450W of power to connected devices such as IP cameras, phones, WiFi APs, and even some of the other MikroTik CRS switches. After checking this out, it may be the best value 24 port gigabit switch with PoE on the market right now.

I've had one of these sitting on my desk at the office for a year now. Works great. After getting familiar with it I configed two of the fiber version for a 2x10G LAG which has been running smoothly since it was installed three months ago. Personal opinion is the only reason to pay $160 more for the 48 port versus two 24 port PoE switches is if you can't spare the rackspace. Reason being, with two 24 port switches you can stagger your switch ports (instead of plugging in ports 1-48 you plug in switch A port 1, switch B port 1, switch A port 2, switch B port 2, etc) which means you can reboot or loose a switch (for whatever reason) and only suffer a 50% outage. This is very handy in mission critical data applications (such as an on prem security system) as some data flowing is better than no data flowing. Also have the added benefit of being able to pull more power or practice circuit redundancy (one switch on one breaker and the other on another).

I’ve had it before where a switch would be blowing against a wall or an appliance in an adjacent rack and would’ve been preferable to have air blowing out the opposite side. With those spare fan headers it would be so easy to swap the fans over. Nice.

@webluke 3 года назад

I have used one of these and a lot of MikroTik gear. It's great to use even though it does not have a big fancy cloud management software system. The GUI configuration software makes things easy. I have never used a management port, I have used the console port when I screwed up a config of the bridge settings in my early days using them and locked myself out. My home router is the RB4011GS+ and it has plenty of power, silent, and lower cost for features.

What really impressed me here was the build quality of the PSU. Proper Rubycon caps and plenty of white glop to stop components moving around.

Re: the power supply... You get to pick two: 1) Cost 2) Space Claim 3) Efficiency If you want cheap and efficient, you're going to be running lower frequencies - lower frequencies need bigger components, and take more space. If you want cheap and small, your efficiency is going to suffer (so very likely as will your power quality), simple components without a lot of complexity, and likely worse regulation. If you want high efficiency and a small supply, it''s be a lot of phases running at lower power individually, more phases means more components of tighter tolerances (as they have to be balanced) - this will increase the cost...

Totally true. We wanted to point out the difference just to help folks understand how this is being delivered so inexpensively.

@gsuberland 4 года назад

I know I'm asking a lot here, and I absolutely understand if it's not something you can fit into the schedule, but is there any chance you could do an overview of "open" and "software defined" switch platforms, specifically the practical differences and restrictions around the FOSS options (and more accessible commercial options) when it comes to network operating systems? There have been a lot of acquisitions and name changes in this space, and projects spawning other projects, making it quite confusing. ONL is talked up a lot, but seems to be more of a barebones platform for building a more complete NOS solution. Stratum and Dent sound great but don't actually exist yet. FTOS/DNOS is commercial but appears to come pre-installed and working on many of the Dell platforms, so maybe that's a good bet? OPX seems to just be a Linux distro without much in the way of dedicated management tooling. VyOS looks nice but it's not clear how featureful the free edition is. I've been looking at second hand 40G and 100G switches for a lab / experimentation environment and it's very unclear what routing software can actually be used on them in practice, and which NOS options offer traditional network features (e.g. LACP, static/proxy ARP, static routing, QoS, VLANs, port security, etc) rather than focusing entirely on carrier grade features. Some of the switches are sold with software already installed but it isn't clear what the licensing requirements are, if any. I know the hardware on many of these 40/100G switches ostensibly conforms to the Open Compute Platform specifications, meaning that they should all technically support any NOS, but I've heard mixed information around support, especially for the higher end carrier-grade equipment. With the commercial NOS options being largely out of the budget of even the most ambitious home lab users, but the hardware itself being much more accessibly priced on the used market, it'd be very useful to better understand and evaluate the available solutions.

@apalrd8588 4 года назад

I got one of these about 6 months ago, for my home network, and love it. The only problem is that I've gone wild on PoE powering everything since I got it, and now I ran out of ports.

@averageracingchannel1241 3 года назад

Can you say something about noice-level? Are the fan-profiles? For example no PoE Devices + less workload fan on 20%, fullstack rj45 non PoE 60%, some PoE 80%. The switch is oversized for my actual home, but has some features I need and don't get on other brands or devices. BUT power consumption and noice level is important to me.

@apalrd8588 3 года назад

I currently have 29W of PoE load across 9 PoE devices, and the switch is full (all 24 gigabit ports used, 2 10 gig ports used). This is as-reported by SwOS. SwOS reports the two fans at 2700 and 2900 RPM, and they are both 7000 RPM fans. They are a bit audible but not excessive. You would not hear them out of the closet they are in. There is no control of the fan in SwOS.

@LanceThumping 4 года назад

@9:10, important thing to note is that for US customers, they can't void a warranty because you modified the device unless they can prove that the cause of the failure is the modification. Also how does this compare to the used market? There is a lot of love on the STH forums for the used Brocade switches and a relatively comparable model to this can be had for around $150.

@prescan7000 4 года назад

Same applies for the EU. Warranty remains even when 'warranty void if removed' stickers are broken. But keep in mind that it will be hard to prove (for both parties) that the modification did or did not is the cause.

@1superricko 4 года назад

If adding fans to open slots and headers causes failure then they have different problems. Besides just remove the extra fans before sending it back and there's no problem. The "warranty void if removed" stickers are a whole different problem. It blocks basic maintenance like cleaning the dust out that could cause premature failure (usually right after end of warranty)

@Ruhrpottpatriot 2 года назад

@@prescan7000 In the EU you have to distinguish between warranty by law (which can't be voided) and warranty given by the manufacturer (which is a contract and thus can be voided), they aren't mutually exclusive and can exist at the same time. It's also important to know who is your partner for the warranty. For the former it's the dealer, for the latter it's the manufacturer.

Thanks for reviewing this. I've been looking at this and considering it. I have the older CRS125-24G-1S models and it didn't have a special 1 Gig management port. So I'm curious which CRS switches had it that made you consider it was a missing feature?

@ServeTheHomeVideo 4 года назад

Hi John. We did both of the CRS354-48P and -48S models (the non-PoE version is only a few dollars more than this street pricing), the CRS305, CRS309, CRS317 (all three less expensive), also the CRS312 had this feature. Again, it is understandable, it just is something that would have been great to see as a big differentiation point and building the CRS brand identity.

@johnvillalovos 4 года назад

@@ServeTheHomeVideo Thanks! Looking at the CRS305, CRS309, and CRS317 they are all SFP switches. So they have only one 1Gbit copper connection, (which I'm not sure is a management port like the others since they all have 10/100Mbit Ethernet as the management). While the CRS312 is somewhat different in that it does have one management port which interestingly is only 100Mbit, according to the spec sheet. Oh and I see the CRS354-48 also has that one 100Mbit management port.. Cool, things I learned :)

Fun fact, Aruba 650s are often sold wiped off eBay which wipes off the license file for POE operation. If you have a TFTP server, just flash the very last firmware and it restores POE operation. Also, these are powerful switches with 4 USB ports for fileshare(samba) & printer, and a CardExpress slot for who knows what else. Yeah, I nerd

@YKSGuy 4 года назад

We do remote management via a VLAN in with all our switches, no port is really LOST in that case, in the case of a POE switch like this I would expect the SFP+ ports to be uplinked to a core where the management is happing. If you have a problem, that cannot be fixed remotely you use the console port.

@frankfix247 2 года назад

You could use a dedicated serial-to-ethernet adapter connected to the console port... But if the whole thing freezes, it's not going to help you anyway. And the Watchdog timer is software based. No IPMI functionality in this switch/router! You could use e.g. a PDU to toggle the power to the device though...

Why did you miss the management port?! I completely confirm your noise experience: the CRS328 can supply some hAPs and VoIP-deskphones while its fans are almost inaudible. However I disagree with your opinion regarding L3 and advanced RouterOS features: The CRS328 is capable of handling routing for typical small business bandwiths, some IPSec-tunnels and CAPSMAN. What I like the most is the support for wired 802.1x that came with RouterOS 6.45.

@danpenley4008 Год назад

Also, it’s part of the CRS (cloud Router Switch) line - it’s meant to be used for light routing AND switching…which is brilliant and such a cool combination when you also include POE. Really cool device. I have a wax CRS at home as my main firewall and it performs great. Specifically, I replaced a UniFI USG, in parent because I was convinced the USG wasn’t able to max out my modest 200mbps internet. Even with no IDS/IPS it would max around 150. The CRS2xx handles all 200mbps and I would think a good bit more if I tried. Also, FWIW my CRS2xx is the one with Wi-Fi but no POE. WiFI is turned off, it was the only one in stock.

In addition to CLI, Winbox and Webfig (which is often buggy), you also have the API you can open up on a port, and manage them via scripting. Also, you should be able to boot into SwOS, which is a simplified RouterOS for switches. There’s really no lack of ways to manage them. Only problem i have with Mikrotiks is reliability - their firmwares fix as many bugs as they introduce, and they’re never documented. When you complain about flapping SFP ports, port freezes, random client disconnects, random DNS cache corruptions (on routers) etc. you get the cold shoulder, snark, and “you’re holding it wrong” comments from the Mikrotik fanbase.

More 2.5GbE will be coming but still a few years off from what you describe. This switch is ~64Gbps of ports. What you are describing is 140Gbps and maybe more. The higher speed switch chips cost more and with Nbase-T support are newer. Those factors add to cost.

Any one know it this would power a unifi ap pro

Yes.

I was evaluating this switch earlier this year. If you don't need POE don't buy it. The routing performance is a joke. And VLAN setup quirky. Go for D-Link DGS-1510-28x instead which has much better routing (full 10G speed with ACL) and same price category.

MikroTik setup often looks some sort of quirky. How is the DGS-1510s PPPoE-dialin performance? Or its IPSec performance? Rhetorical question, because the DGS-1510 does not support it. These two devices have different use cases. The CRS328 is far more versatile and can replace the DSL-router, the firewall, the DHCP-server, at least partly the DNS-server, and the Wifi-management. The cost is its lower performance, compared to dedicated devices.

kwinzman can you please backup your statements with documentation and figures. “Quirky” is an opinion not facts and examples. “Routing performance is a joke” base on what situation? Some of us are engineers and we deal with facts and testing proof not feelings. I respect that you have an opinion but it needs to be grounded in facts, this way it help all of us in the community.

@@shreev9671 The fact is I needed a switch that could L3/L4 route and ACL filter between VLANs with 10GBE speed and also do DHCP relay. And the D-Link one in the same price category could route that without breaking a sweat and the Mikrotik could not. I know that the Mikrotik is geared towards POE, and not fast routing and for some use cases it could be better. Also I am aware that Mikrotik states on the product page that this switch can't route at 10GBE. Please don't ask me for exact numbers, I measured it with iperf3, it was around what the product page said (~900Mbit/s vs the Dlink's 10000Mbit/s). So yes, ideally I would not even have tried this unsuitable tool as a proper engineer. Moreover I recently had the displeasure to configure VLANs (trunk and access points) on another a Mikrotik switch, and I had yet to see a vendor that makes VLAN configuration this unnecessarily complicated. There are at least 4 different ways you can setup VLAN filtering, at the interface, the bridge, the switch level, or the old master-slave type. Neither of which was well documented on the Mikrotik wiki or elsewhere. It was not clear to me which way would yield the best performance for my device. In Mikrotik's defense I have heard that it's easier in SwitchOS than RouterOS. Instead of criticizing me for not publishing enough data, take my feedback and either give the D-Link DGS-1510-28x a look, maybe it suits your requirements better. Or if you're ingrained in the Mikrotik ecosystem then take from my user experience that I hated the VLAN setup, I want a clear way to configure it, that I know does not cause any security vulnerabilities, and will yield optimal performance on my switch. And improve the product pages even more. And simplify the performance caveats in general. With Mikrotik I have the feeling that I could buy something and if I don't do perfect research I will find out that two SPF+ ports share the same PCIe interface and can't be used at full speed at the same time. Make the hardware and the software less cumbersome, less niche cases and also streamlined.

@@kwinzman, I agree with all you wrote except the nice cases: MikroTik's products are great for most small business networks, which are most of the companies on the market. Such networks often don't have VLANs. Regarding VLAN configuration and most other interface-related configuration, you are almost as free as you are under Linux: you can stack a L2 layer over an L2 layer overn an L3 layer over an L2 layer or vice versa ten times and the more layers you stack, the more points you have where you can configure a VLAN. Also the less packet size you have available :-) This flexibility is rarely needed but if you once need to bridge L2 over L3, MikroTik supports it (if you know how to configure it).
