FAQs
Q: What is the MikroTik CRS310‑1G‑5S‑4S+IN used for?
A: This device is ideal for small offices or ISPs that require reliable fiber aggregation and high‑speed uplinks. With five 1 Gbps SFP ports and four 10 Gbps SFP+ ports, it can handle both access and backbone traffic over long fiber runs.
Q: What are the port and connectivity options on the CRS310?
A: It includes:
-
1 × Gigabit RJ45 Ethernet port
-
5 × 1 Gbps SFP slots
-
4 × 10 Gbps SFP+ slots
This gives flexible fiber uplink options plus a copper port for management or low‑speed use.
Q: What CPU, memory, and software does this switch use?
A: It has an ARMv7 (98DX226S) CPU running at 800 MHz, 256 MB RAM, and 16 MB flash storage. It supports dual‑boot with RouterOS (Level 5) and SwOS for either routing or simple switching use.
Q: How is the CRS310 powered and what are its power input options?
A: The switch supports two power inputs: a DC jack (18–57 V) and 802.3af/at PoE‑in on the RJ45 port. Its maximum power consumption is about 20 W, with an idle draw of around 8 W.
Q: What performance and switching features does the CRS310 offer?
A: It supports hardware‑offloaded VLAN filtering and some Layer‑3 routing, improving performance. Its switching capacity supports non‑blocking L2 throughput up to ~45 Gbps, making it effective for dense fiber deployments or aggregation.
