The MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM is a powerful rack-mountable Layer 3 switch designed for high-speed data center and enterprise networking. Featuring 16 high-performance 10G SFP+ ports and a single Gigabit Ethernet port for out-of-band management, it delivers wire-speed switching and robust management options for professionals seeking reliable 10 Gigabit connectivity. With a passive cooling system and dual redundant power supplies, the CRS317 is engineered for maximum uptime and silent operation, even in high-demand environments.

Product Features

High-performance 10G SFP+ switching

Equipped with 16 SFP+ ports, the CRS317 delivers full wire-speed 10GbE switching across all ports, supporting any Ethernet frame size. Ideal for bandwidth-intensive environments such as data centers, server farms, and aggregation networks.

Advanced Layer 3 capabilities

Supports Layer 3 routing features under RouterOS, including static routing and VLAN configuration. Offers dual boot capability to operate either MikroTik’s RouterOS for advanced features or SwitchOS for a simplified switch interface.

Redundant power supplies for uptime assurance

The CRS317 includes dual built-in redundant power supplies to ensure uninterrupted service in case of a hardware failure. Combined with passive cooling and optional fan activation, this ensures stable operation in mission-critical deployments.

Hardware-based network protection

Supports hardware-based Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid STP (RSTP), and Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), providing loop protection, traffic balancing, and network resiliency.

Silent and temperature-efficient operation

Uses a passive cooling design for silent operation. In warmer environments, two internal fans automatically activate for temperature regulation, maintaining reliable performance without constant fan noise.

Flexible management options

Offers full management access via RouterOS and SwitchOS. Administrators can select between an advanced feature set for routing and filtering or a simplified switch configuration based on network needs.
