CRS510-8XS-2XQ-IN is a switch with eight SFP28 ports at 25 Gbps and two QSFP28 at 100 Gbps in a compact desktop case. It occupies the niche between ten-gigabit models and a full data-centre core: the eight 25 Gbps ports connect servers or aggregation switches while the two hundred-gigabit ports go upstream. For a growing network this is the step where ten gigabit is no longer enough but buying a chassis is premature. Inside is RouterOS with the full set: routing, VLANs, firewall, MPLS, VPN. Hardware switching sustains the stated rates without loading the CPU.
