Cisco Catalyst 3550 replacement

Dear All,

I have an old WS-C3550-12G switch with the configuration attached. As you can see, some access lists, VLAN filtering, and a single area OSPF. Looking for a replacement for this old device, is it worth considering something like https://mikrotik.com/product/crs310_1g_5s_4s_in?

Is it capable enough or I should better try to find a used Cisco 3750X-12S-E? Maybe some other Mikrotik capable to act as an L3 switch? Any practical experience with this?

Kind regards
Milos

i think Cisco 3750X-12S-E can be more useful to you

Thank you. Somehow I just wanted to have a confirmation on this forum that L3 switching is not something CRS devices are yet capable of, besides l3hw support...

maybe MikroTik can do everything you need but must be a transition
