Frequently asked questions
What is the total switching capacity of the CSS610-8P-2S+IN?
The CSS610-8P-2S+IN delivers 160Gbps full-duplex non-blocking switching capacity. With 8x 10GBASE-T ports (80Gbps) and 2x 10G SFP+ uplinks (20Gbps), the switch supports wire-speed forwarding across all ports simultaneously without oversubscription, making it suitable for demanding data center and campus deployments.
Does the CSS610-8P-2S+IN support Layer 3 routing?
Yes, the CSS610-8P-2S+IN is a full Layer 3 managed switch running MikroTik RouterOS. It supports dynamic routing protocols including OSPF, BGP, and RIP, static routing, policy-based routing, and advanced features like MPLS, making it suitable for complex enterprise network architectures and service provider deployments.
What management options are available for the CSS610-8P-2S+IN?
The switch offers multiple management interfaces: web-based GUI for intuitive configuration, command-line interface (CLI) via SSH/Telnet for advanced administration, and REST API for programmatic control and integration with orchestration platforms. All management functions are accessible remotely or locally via console port.
Is the CSS610-8P-2S+IN suitable for fanless deployments?
Yes, the CSS610-8P-2S+IN features a completely fanless design with passive cooling, consuming approximately 30W typical power. This makes it ideal for noise-sensitive environments, remote locations, and deployments where acoustic performance and power efficiency are critical requirements.
What VLAN and security features does the CSS610-8P-2S+IN provide?
The switch supports comprehensive VLAN tagging (802.1Q), port-based and protocol-based VLANs, access control lists (ACLs), DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection (DAI), port security, and traffic mirroring. These features enable network segmentation, threat prevention, and traffic analysis for enterprise security requirements.
Can the CSS610-8P-2S+IN be used in redundant network topologies?
Yes, the switch supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP/RSTP/MSTP) for loop prevention and automatic failover in redundant topologies. It also supports link aggregation (LAG/LACP) for port bonding, enabling high-availability network designs with automatic traffic rerouting during link failures.
What fiber optic standards do the SFP+ uplinks support?
The 2x 10G SFP+ uplinks support standard 10GBASE-SR (short-range multimode, up to 300m), 10GBASE-LR (long-range single-mode, up to 10km), and 10GBASE-ER (extended-range, up to 40km) transceivers.
