We use CRS 328 24 port poe 500w as access switches all over the place and they switches are rock solid. As soon you get all configuration done , plug and forget. The switch OS is match more then just access port or trunk in term of traffic handling. Right now mikrotik added MC-LAG which will allow integration for compute level into spine/leaf design. Passive Poe goes well with IoT devices.

the ~800W don't get dissipated in the switch, only maybe 100W. Of course, you still need to move a lot of air because there's no heatsinks on all the PoE ICs.

At long last, this European brand get some credit for its products :) Can we hope to see reviews for their 60GHz line of systems ?

Its finally here !!!!

Great video as always but for @ 10:10 - Its not really a 800W box as most of the power gets send through the poe and is not converted to heat inside the box itself. True you have more heat to move caused by converstion losses for poe power but nothing close to 800W.

Totally right. Should have been more clear. Can only film in the late evening (10PM and later) these days :-/

i've tossed all my CISCO stuff and gone full Mikrotik. never looked back. don't miss anything from CISCO. i have smoother performance, easier configurations, and my wallet is MUCH happier. and given that Mikrotik gives you the ENTIRE suite of tools on ANY and EVERY product... game over. Mikrotik FTW.

Great Thanks. So this MikroTik switch has 2 QSFP ports. What would you consider for 40GbE routing?

Thanks for the review, I was in doubt between the Ubiquiti Networks EdgeSwitch 48 750W and the Mikrotik CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM But this video convinced me to go and buy the Mikrotik. If not the 40Gbe ports ;-)

Can't decide between this and the 24P switch, but can't find either on the market, so ... any idea where to buy them?

Certainly the best alphabet soup on the market.

Wich 1-hop security features does it have? Does it support access lists?

As an owner of this switch for 2 years now, I can say it is quiet, solid, and absolutely reliable. Great managed switch features and I can run all my Unifi access points and Raspberry Pi devices from POE. Don't regret buying it at all!

Is it only me that puts this video at fast forward to 1.25 ?

For me I don't see the need for a 48 port POE switch at home, but maybe somebody need it. I do really like having the option though, and having the 40Gig uplinks is pretty cool

Yeah... 48 PoE ports for home is a bit too much... Too bad that CRS354-48G-4S+2Q+RM doesn't have, say, 4 PoE ports... With 12 10G ports, 44 1G standard ports and 4 1G PoE ports, I'd be set.

Normally with MT devices there's a place for an argument about price/performance/noise ratio, but these larger switches do take out noise part of it. And with that gone, yeah, used enterprise gear would be better and more tolerant (if you want to swap stock fans for some Noctuas to make it less noisy)

@Another Language you can mix and match them as you need. It's all in the config.

Patrick, plz stop comparing MT to ES, the ubiquiti junk can not handle half the throuput or PPS that MT's can, MT's can near match the Junipers, which incidentally beat the cisco. The only thing MT and ES's have is price similarity, thast where it ends

That sounds like a massive single point of failure.
