In this video, we look at the new MikroTik CSS610-8G-2S+IN switch and see what this dual 10GbE and 8x 1GbE managed, silent, and low-power switch offers. MikroTik offers this new fan-less switch that runs in the 5-11W range for under $100. Unlike its CRS offerings, this is a SwOS or SwitchOS only switch which means we have less management functionality, likely a byproduct of building a lower-cost product.

I think Mikrotik always has a great balance of features for the price. It fills a very nice spot in the prosumer space. I was also surprised when their small 10Gb switches came out at how cheap they were compared to most other options.

@forbiddenera 3 года назад

Agree.. but also I feel like other ports should be at least 2.5g..and 2 10gbe feels limiting.. should have at least 3 so it can stack..if you hooked two together at 10gbe..you still only get 2 10gb ports

@forbiddenera 3 года назад

The POE in seems like it would be most useful with poe out.. I don't see where you would mount a switch where you wouldn't have power.. and if it was then you'd want it to power other devices like waps or cameras

As a heavy Mikrotik user, always buy the CRS version of a switch if one exists. You can dual boot to CSS mode (SwOS) or CRS mode (RouterOS/ROS). At some point you'll hit the limit of what SwOS offers and you'll be thankful you can boot to ROS.

@rjy8960 3 года назад

I've got a couple of Mikrotik switches in my home lab and they are really reliable and just work. The switchOS software is easy to use and compared to my Netgear GS108 8-port managed switch, it is miles ahead. This will replace the Netgear with a couple of SFP+ to RJ-45 converters to upgrade for more bandwidth into the lounge.

@minigpracing3068 Год назад

You can use the two SFP+ ports as additional 1gbps ports, but you may need to go in and set them to 1gbps because the auto function doesn't find a lot of the SFP modules. I had to do that on my CRS 309-xxxx switch.

@zapityzapzap 3 года назад

I don't think missing components in the board are for future PoE use. I think they are the parts which aren't for the reverse PoE on the CSS610-1Gi-7R-2S+OUT (i.e. netPower Lite 7R). However, that still leaves some hope that we will see something similar to the CSS326 and CRS326 where for a little bit more there will be CRS versions (maybe with PoE and maybe without) as replacement for CRS112 switches.

@ServeTheHomeVideo 3 года назад

Totally. We waited until the RC6 firmware to publish this because that was the first one that we could get to complete our tests. Rohit discussed this in his main site review. That is why we are calling this more of a plug items in and get basic connectivity switch rather than a higher-end unit. The shipping firmware was not good.

I could use pfsense or similar, but it is still hard to find cheap multi port 2.5 pcie cards, motherboards and cpu combo with enough pcie bandwidth (on low power) and a combination of those cheaper than this things.

Do you always miss backplane performance? I would think that the 2*10 to 8*1 May relate to the backplane performance over the 24*1 switches. Looking at some hardware a while ago now, you could end up with a 24 port switch with only a 8 GBS backplane. This is a really important factor with switches as it impacts performance and load as well as the entire infrastructure. 8/24= .32! I think and thought on seeing this that this is a remote placement or "cut in". Placing this in a 10gbe to basically add some 1g ports along the way, and carrying on to have maybe one or two stretched out, may be a ideal solution for a lot of deployment. Or with remote, that ability to place this on a battery and charge system allows a easy deployment with a backbone of 10g. The down side is I cannot see any use of more than two of them on the line. But with "economics" I could see three or four being used...

@sablanex 3 года назад

Yes

@chrisellison8366 3 года назад

Please note it currently has issues with the Switchos version that ships with it ( mine came with 2.12rc2) . - that you can't get to the management UI over the SFP+ ports . You can upgrade to 2.13rc5.0 available from the Mikrotik website but note these are NOT final release versions only release candidates . its a nice little switch , just let down by unfinished software. Maybe it shares a PCB with the netpower lite 7R which is a similar product code would explain the POE components missing on the 610.

Hi Chris, there is a RC6 in the forums as well if you have not seen that. We mentioned that in a bit more detail in the full main site review. That is why we are calling this more of a basic switch.

@chrisellison8366 3 года назад

@@ServeTheHomeVideo - Its a great little switch - i have my workstation plugged in to it in my office over 10gig and then the other SFP+ linked back to a css326-24G-2s+RM that has my NAS in the other SFP+ port and works great . Just a bit disappointed they chose to release a product that didn't have finished firmware - took me an hour of head scratching to figure why i couldn't connect. The only other thing that would make the css610 even better would be if the ports were POE out - that would make a perfect remote switch to drive 4k CCTV cameras .

i'd love a 8 to 12 port 2.5g + router for under $200

@jisagi 3 года назад

Really like the Switch, but I think just for future upgradeability 1G wise, the CSS326-24G-2S+RM is a better choice. The price or only around 10% higher. If that isn't neded though, it is a really nice choice

@ServeTheHomeVideo 3 года назад

Rohit and I had the same thought. That is why we both put the CSS326 in the main site review/ article. Then again, there are a lot of markets where the $40 price difference means more than those extra 16 ports.

@jisagi 3 года назад

@@ServeTheHomeVideo I can only agree. When we're already talking about this price range, even a 10-20% can be a deciding factor

@twank6234 3 года назад

Hey STH, I'm looking at replacing some of our firewalls in the DC and found a product that really stood out of the competition, might be good to take a look at especially at the price point. Fortigate 200F 1U, 4x 10G, dual PSU, great throughput even with a load of NGFW stuff enabled, a lot of 1G ports and hovering around the 5000 dollar mark. A quick look at the competition (Cisco, Checkpoint, Juniper SRX, Palo alto etc) shows that the 200F comes with great hardware for the price.

@MarkHimsley 3 года назад

I'd buy the CSS610-8G-2S+IN if the power was on the back and it ran RouterOS. I'd rather get the CRS326-24G-2S+IN, even though it would take a lot more desk space.

@SimmanGodz 3 года назад

It's got PoE-in, so You can eliminate the power connector. Still kinda lame, but you've got another options.

I dont know if anyone will read this, but i got this exact switch about 2 weeks ago. I was already pretty familiar with RouterOS on my hEX S, but SwOS (lite) was new for me. Unfortunately this switch ships with alpha build software and there is no update available. Some really important and basic features (like accessing the management page from SFP+) are not there or are really unstable. I would wait some time before buying this switch when MikroTik updates their software.

@ServeTheHomeVideo 3 года назад

Noted in the main site review, check RC6 which fixed the VLAN issues for us. You are right that using more of the managed features is not great. That is why we are calling this more of a "plug stuff in and it connects" L2 switch rather than a more full-featured switch. Even when the firmware is updated, it still will not have a lot of features people want.

@MisterMacintosh1 3 года назад

@@ServeTheHomeVideo thanks for the info, i didnt know they fixed the VLAN issues. I had the same experience, and even saw frames arriving at clients that still had the 802.1q tag. Good to see that Mikrotik keeps working on their software tho.

Are there many 2.5 GbE small desktop switches in the market? With newer MB's now including 2.5G networking onboard, a lot of people (myself included) don't know much about how to review switches and which units are available. Perhaps their demand may increase as more 2.5G onboard NIC's are installed as standard

I'm looking for something exactly like this, but with PoE capability. Does such a thing exist at this price point or less? Idea would be to power several IP ethernet cameras and an AP or 2 and having a it managed would be ideal.

@DozIT 3 года назад

Why would you need 10Gb for that? Any 8 port PoE switch should solve your problem

@ServeTheHomeVideo 3 года назад

No, but as mentioned in the review the PCB in the switch has un-placed component pads that indicate MikroTik could fairly easily make a PoE variant.

@popeter 3 года назад

@@ServeTheHomeVideo yea i'm prob gonna wait out for that version (CSS615?) so from one fiber run to my office can connect my workstation at 10G and power my office AP

@power-max 3 года назад

@@DozIT It could, but if you wanted a lot of high-bandwidth PoE devices all sending traffic to something like a NAS, then you'd also want the network to have a fat pipe back to the rest of your high bandwidth network. like high quality IP cameras, AP's w/ lots of clients and high traffic to a NAS, maybe? Also if the switch were to be located in another building, having a fiber run to it would be safer to avoid having low voltage wiring run outside where a nearby lightning strike could result in enough of a transient induced in a twisted pair run to fry your whole network, and if your going to use SFP or preferably SFP+

@ravenvg 3 года назад

I really like your videos. But why you never turn on the gear and show for example also the management GUI in action? And some blinking lights / Sound of the fans ... Would be really nice over just talking so long.

@IsoMacintosh 3 года назад

While this is a cool switch looking at mikrotiks site those 10 gig RJ-45 adapters cost 65 bucks so two of them is more than the price of the switch, additionally they mention that when used with passively cooled switches additional cooling may be required.

@mrmotofy 3 года назад

But one can use a DAC cable or a transceiver, so in the long run SFP+ can be more versatile. Really should have 4 of em though

@post-leftluddite 3 года назад

@@mrmotofy transceivers are expensive and you can't run DACs through your walls or over long distances.... Most home 10gig networks are 10GBase-T because it's way simpler and cheaper to run CAT6a through your walls and it still works with all your 1gig devices... Once you add in the cost of DACs or transceivers to this switch, you might as well get a 10GBase-T switch... And really, what use is that "versatility" to an average homeowner?
