MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+RM network switch 24 × 1G, 2 × SFP+, L3, rackmount

The MikroTik Cloud Router Switch CRS326-24G-2S+RM is a managed Layer 3 network switch for an office network cabinet or server room. Its 24 Gigabit RJ-45 ports connect computers, printers and access points, while two SFP+ cages provide a fast uplink to a router, server or another switch.

  • Ports: 24 × 1 Gbit/s RJ-45
  • Uplink: 2 × SFP+ for an optical module or direct attach cable
  • PoE: no PoE output; the switch itself can be powered via passive PoE in
  • Management: managed Layer 3 switch, RouterOS (Level 5 licence)
  • Mounting: rackmountable chassis

Description

RouterOS and Layer 3: more than a port splitter

Unlike an unmanaged switch, the CRS326-24G-2S+RM can separate and direct traffic. It runs RouterOS with a Level 5 licence, so network segmentation and per-port rules need no extra software. Layer 3 support means traffic between subnets can be routed on the switch itself. The SFP+ cages suit a link to a server or NAS whose network card supports 10 Gigabit connections.

Who this network switch is for

Small and mid-sized offices, schools and server rooms that need to connect up to 24 wired devices and carry them over a fast uplink. Setup assumes RouterOS knowledge or an IT partner. If cameras or access points need PoE power, choose a model with PoE output instead.

Questions & answers

Can this switch power cameras over PoE?

No. This model has no PoE output. The manufacturer lists passive PoE in, which means the switch itself can be powered over the network cable.

Is it a managed or unmanaged switch?

Managed. It is a Layer 3 switch running RouterOS (Level 5), so ports, networks and routing can be configured to suit your setup.

Can it be installed in a server rack?

Yes. RM in the model name stands for a rackmountable chassis designed for a server or network cabinet.
