[AusNOG] Fwd: Re: 12V Gigabit Switch suggestions

[Alexander Neilson]

These features are awesome to have.

And as long as your needs are not too intensive then the Mikrotik gear
is wonderful to use.

Just note it isn't a pure hardware switch across all ports. Maximum
throughput with bridging is about 4Gbps (on the AHx2 model).

It has two five port "switch groups" that you can use for wire speed
switching only. But if you want all 12 you are limited. (Can do switch
chip and bridge the switch chips together along with the none switch
ports but I haven't tested the throughput benefits of this)

Still wonderful boxes but always be aware of the limitations of your hardware.

Alexander
