About the MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+RM 24-Port Gigabit Switch (2x 10G SFP+, Rackmount)

The MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+RM delivers 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports with 2 × 10G SFP+ uplink ports in a compact 1U rackmount form factor, achieving a 28 Gbps switching capacity. This configuration provides network engineers and IT procurement teams with dense port availability and high-speed uplink flexibility for mid-tier enterprise deployments. Built on the Marvell Prestera 98DX3236 switching ASIC, the CRS326-24G-2S+RM (part number: CRS326-24G-2S+RM) combines line-rate switching performance with intelligent routing and Layer 2 management capabilities.

The unit runs MikroTik RouterOS v7 with Level 5 license by default, switchable to SwOS for pure switching operation. Administrators benefit from multiple management interfaces including Winbox, WebFig, SSH CLI, REST API, and SNMP. Supported protocols span STP, RSTP, 802.1Q VLAN, LACP (802.3ad), IGMP Snooping, OSPF, BGP, RIP, IPsec, L2TP, and PPTP. The 800 MHz dual-core CPU and 512 MB DDR3 RAM provide sufficient headroom for control-plane operations, while the 16 MB NAND flash ensures stable firmware storage. Operating across 0 °C to +40 °C with just 19 W maximum power consumption, the CRS326-24G-2S+RM fits standard 19-inch racks and weighs 1.45 kg. The unit accepts universal 100–240 V AC power at 50/60 Hz via integrated PSU and carries CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications.

Typical Enterprise Deployment Scenarios

  • Branch office and campus network aggregation with Gigabit access and 10G core uplinks to data center
  • Virtual machine host interconnect and storage-area network (SAN) traffic segregation via VLAN and LACP bonding
  • Service provider edge switching with BGP/OSPF routing and multi-tenant isolation
  • Managed network appliance backbone requiring dual-redundancy through STP/RSTP loop protection
  • High-availability clusters needing IPsec/L2TP tunneling and SNMP-based remote monitoring
