MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM 16-Port 10G SFP+ Managed Switch Features in Kenya

16-Port 10G SFP+ Connectivity

The CRS317 provides 16 × 10 Gigabit SFP+ ports for high-speed fiber connections to servers, storage systems, aggregation switches and other compatible network equipment. The high port density makes it suitable for environments where numerous 10GbE connections need to be consolidated within a single rackmount switch.

Wire-Speed 10 Gigabit Switching

The switching architecture is designed to provide wire-speed switching across the SFP+ interfaces, enabling efficient handling of bandwidth-intensive network traffic between connected devices without creating unnecessary switching bottlenecks.

Dedicated Gigabit Management Port

A dedicated Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 interface provides convenient switch management without consuming one of the primary 10G SFP+ ports, helping simplify administration in professional network environments.

Layer 3 Hardware Offloading

The Marvell switching platform supports Layer 3 hardware offloading, allowing supported routing operations to be processed directly by the switch hardware for substantially higher performance than CPU-only routing.

Marvell 98DX8216 Switching Platform

The Marvell 98DX8216 platform provides hardware-based packet processing for demanding enterprise and data center workloads while supporting advanced switching and Layer 3 functionality.

RouterOS and SwOS Dual Boot

The CRS317 supports both MikroTik RouterOS and SwOS. RouterOS provides extensive routing, switching and network management capabilities, while SwOS offers a simplified interface focused specifically on switch configuration.

RouterOS Level 6 License

An included RouterOS Level 6 license provides extensive RouterOS functionality suitable for sophisticated enterprise, service-provider and data center network deployments.

VLAN Network Segmentation

VLAN support enables administrators to logically separate network traffic between departments, servers, storage infrastructure and other network resources while maintaining shared physical switching infrastructure.

Hardware-Based STP and RSTP

Hardware support for Spanning Tree Protocol and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol helps prevent Layer 2 network loops and provides faster network topology convergence in appropriately configured redundant environments.

LACP Link Aggregation

Support for Link Aggregation Control Protocol enables compatible interfaces to be combined into logical links, providing options for increased aggregate bandwidth and connection redundancy between supported network devices.

High-Speed Network Aggregation

With sixteen 10G interfaces, the CRS317 can serve as an effective aggregation switch for consolidating traffic from multiple servers, access switches, storage devices or network segments.

Dual Redundant Power Supplies

Two integrated power supplies provide power redundancy, helping maintain switch operation if one power supply or power source becomes unavailable when the unit is deployed with an appropriate redundant power arrangement.

Intelligent Cooling System

The CRS317 is designed to operate primarily using passive cooling for quieter operation. Two internal fans can automatically activate when additional cooling is required, helping maintain safe operating temperatures under demanding conditions.

1 GB RAM

With 1 GB of RAM, the CRS317 provides considerably more memory than many compact Cloud Router Switch models, supporting RouterOS operation and more sophisticated network configurations.

1U Rackmount Design

The 443 × 224 × 44 mm enclosure fits standard 19-inch network racks and occupies approximately 1U, making the switch suitable for organized data center, server-room and enterprise network installations.
