CSS610, RouterOS support ?

Fri Jun 30, 2023 1:25 pm

Hi,

@MikroTik deavteam, do you plan to support RouterOS on CSS610 (CSS610-8G-2S+IN / CSS610-8P-2S+IN) ?
Would be a really nice idea.
SwOS is easy, but of course lacks many useful things RouterOS has (configuration backup, scripting, monitoring...).
These are the only 2 recent switches not supporting RouterOS, would then be nice if they could, to standardize our deployments, and make these things even better in production.

Thank you very much for your support !

Not gonna happen. CSS switches lack general-purpose CPU, required for running ROS. For that you need one of CRS switches ..,

CSS switches are cheaper because dont have General Purpose CPU, nor Memory RAM, nor Storage Memory, this elements are necesary to run an operating system like RouterOS

Because of that SwOS have a Limited set of functions
