## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this a router and switch? Or just a switch.**
A: It is a layer 3 switch. A L3 switch is a switch with routing features, so his performance as a switch is equal or better than a layer 2 switch with similar features; the difference is in the routing performance: his performance is a bit lower than a pure router (with the same features). This is because the main motherboard hardware of the L3 switches is built to be a high performance switch. The main motherboard hardware of the routers is built to execute routing tasks, so a router is better than a L3 switch in these tasks. To compare their routing software performance, just see their software routing features (L3 protocols, etc). The performance of a router is mainly measured by his routing hardware capacity, not by his routing software features because the software features are added just buying/installing/enabling a software license and/or changing the NOS (Network Operating System). You can compare their routing hardware performance (between a L3 switch and a Router), looking for the packet throughput (measured in pps
 (packets per second)) and the total BW
 throughput (in Gbps
) in each brochure/datasheet
. The CRS312-4C+8XG-RM has a packet throughput of 178 Mpps
 (is called forwarding rate) and a BW
 throughput of 120 Gbps
. The switching performance is measured by the switching throughput also called switching capacity, 240 Gbps
 for the CRS312-4C+8XG-RM =>
 it is good as router and very good as high speed switch. L3 Switches are good "
cheap"
 solution for small enterprises or SOHO networks, because they replace the router and switch functions, all in one box. If you really need more performance, then you go for a separate real router and a high speed L2 or L3 switch.

**Q: Does this have the typical loud/jet engine fans in it?**
A: The fans do "ramp up" when passing packets and it is noticeable.

**Q: Is this a smart managed switch?**
A: Yes it is

**Q: Can this support vlans between 1 - 4094 like with cisco?**
A: Yes, and lots of info online how to do this. Configuration can be complicated and I've not sorted it yet - but this is my operational setup so have to be cautious. Watch YouTube, buy routers by example and be careful

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Router/Switch
*by ミ***ト on June 19, 2020*

I really needed a 8 ports 10gbe Switch, was looking at Netgear: easy set-up but too many quality trouble for the high pricing... Then I looked at Mikrotik, many ports , great reviews , but can I set it up? I went for Mikrotik and I don't regret. I am in Japan... My questions before purchase were answered instantly. The order was shipped from Latvia the day I ordered it and by Fedex!!! (shipping was only 40$). It arrived in no time, set-up by a real pro (Chris)that I founded on Fiverr, and finally a great switch at my office. Finally,the noise question: before setup I plugged it with my 10gbe NAS and 10gbe MacMini. Noise was very loud. After setup (and a firmware upgrade) the switch became very quiet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 高機能・高性能・高コストパフォーマンスな10GbE L2スイッチ
*by A***R on October 9, 2021*

EuroDK(マケプレ)より購入、FedExにて2週間ほどで到着。10GbEのL2スイッチとしての機能・性能面に関しては文句なしです。正直機能が多すぎて逆に困るぐらいです。騒音に関して、RouterOS v6.48.4ではCPU温度が60℃を超えるとFANが3800rpm程度で回転しはじめ、50℃を下回るとまた停止します。この際の音は人によっては煩いと感じるかもしれないです。(主観ですが無印の空気清浄機の風量1と大体同じぐらいの大きさの音がします。)自分の環境(機器構成：10GbE x2 2.5GbE x2 1GbE x4 RouterOSの機能をほとんど未使用状態)ではCPU温度が61℃を超えないため、FANがこれ以上回転することは今のところなさそうです。また、L3関連機能が無いため設定項目が少なく、管理の楽なSwOSに切り替えることができますが、SwOSではレビュー時最新のv2.13にアップデートしてもFAN制御がされない(？)ためかなり煩いです。
