Mikrotik Software on Cisco Router/Dell Pweredge

Mon Aug 25, 2008 6:30 pm

Was looking to see if anyone has ever tried loading Mikrotik onto a Cisco Router or Dell PowerEdge or others?


Thanks

Just use something on the approved hardware list. Why use something not designed for the OS :)

http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Supported_Hardware is the best place.

We have dropped in over 2000 Hotspot users on one 732 without issues. We just completed a project, ended up having over 10 hops from end to end on the network, all though PowerRouter 732s, ended up at 994 meg fully routed actual throughput. Won the bid over Cisco on that!

If you have any questions, shoot them to sales@mikrotikrouter.com...
