Cloud Router Switch is our new member of our Smart Switch series. It combines the best features of a fully functional router and a Layer 3 switch, is powered by the familiar RouterOS. All the specific Switch configuration options are available in a special Switch menu, but if you want, ports can be removed from the switch configuration, and used for routing purposes. The CRS226 uses a new class of switch chips, which allows us to have two SFP+ ports for 10G connectivity.
