Warning

This article applies to CRS1xx and CRS2xx series switches and not to CRS3xx series switches. For CRS3xx series devices, read the CRS3xx, CRS5xx series switches and CCR2116, CCR2216 routers manual.


FeaturesDescription
Forwarding
  • Configurable ports for switching or routing
  • Full non-blocking wirespeed switching
  • Up to 16k MAC entries in Unicast FDB for Layer 2 unicast forwarding
  • Up to 1k MAC entries in Multicast FDB for multicast forwarding
  • Up to 256 MAC entries in Reserved FDB for control and management purposes
  • All Forwarding Databases support IVL and SVL
  • Configurable Port-based MAC learning limit
  • Jumbo frame support (CRS1xx: 4064 Bytes; CRS2xx: 9204 Bytes)
  • IGMP Snooping support
Mirroring
  • Various types of mirroring:
    • Port-based mirroring
    • VLAN-based mirroring
    • MAC-based mirroring
  • 2 independent mirroring analyzer ports
VLAN
  • Fully compatible with IEEE802.1Q and IEEE802.1ad VLAN
  • 4k active VLANs
  • Flexible VLAN assignment:
    • Port-based VLAN
    • Protocol-based VLAN
    • MAC-based VLAN
  • From any to any VLAN translation and swapping
  • 1:1 VLAN switching - VLAN to port mapping
  • VLAN filtering
Port Isolation and Leakage
  • Applicable for Private VLAN implementation
  • 3 port profile types: Promiscuous, Isolated, and Community
  • Up to 28 Community profiles

Trunking
  • Supports static link aggregation groups
  • Up to 8 Port Trunk groups
  • Up to 8 member ports per Port Trunk group
  • Hardware automatic failover and load balancing
Quality of Service (QoS)
  • Flexible QoS classification and assignment:
    • Port-based
    • MAC-based
    • VLAN-based
    • Protocol-based
    • PCP/DEI based
    • DSCP based
    • ACL based
  • QoS remarking and remapping for QoS domain translation between a service provider and client networks
  • Overriding of each QoS assignment according to the configured priority
Shaping and Scheduling
  • 8 queues on each physical port
  • Shaping per port, per queue, per queue group
Access Control List
  • Ingress and Egress ACL tables
  • Up to 128 ACL rules (limited by RouterOS)
  • Classification based on ports, L2, L3, L4 protocol header fields
  • ACL actions include filtering, forwarding, and modifying the protocol header fields

In order to set up port switching on CRS1xx/2xx series switches, check the Bridge Hardware Offloading page.

Note

Dynamic reserved VLAN entries (VLAN4091; VLAN4090; VLAN4089; etc.) are created in the CRS switch when switched port groups are added when a hardware offloaded bridge is created. These VLANs are necessary for internal operation and have lower precedence than user-configured VLANs.
