MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM – Smart Enterprise Switch with 16 SFP+ Ports and 1 Gigabit

MikroTik CRS317-1G-16S+RM is a 10GbE aggregation switch for datacenter and enterprise environments, featuring 16 SFP+ ports and one Gigabit management port, built for infrastructures where high port density, wire-speed optical connectivity and hardware redundancy are non-negotiable requirements. Commonly deployed as an aggregation or core switch in high-traffic networks, it delivers simultaneous 10 Gbps performance across all 16 ports regardless of frame size.

The next-generation switching chip ensures wire-speed throughput on all 16 SFP+ ports with any Ethernet frame size, eliminating bottlenecks in high-density environments. Hardware-based Spanning Tree Protocol and Link Aggregation LACP provide genuine network protection and redundancy for mission-critical deployments. Dual redundant power supplies and passive cooling with automatic fan activation for high-temperature environments ensure continuous availability in production infrastructure.

CRS317-1G-16S+RM runs RouterOS level 6 or SwOS via dual-boot. RouterOS enables advanced Layer 3 routing, VPN, firewall and centralized management across complex distributed networks. The switch integrates natively into existing MikroTik environments and supports management via Winbox, SSH and web interface, with CPU temperature monitoring and audible alerts for critical system events.

Recommended for datacenters and enterprise networks requiring high-density 10GbE aggregation, for ISP infrastructures with redundant uplink requirements, for core switching in networks where downtime is not acceptable, and for high-temperature environments where automatic cooling and dual power supplies are mandatory operational requirements.
