Probably with 3011 (given there is still no 1100 with SFP, LCD and USB) for the remote locations. At some point around Q4 this year I will start replacing them because of the increasing VPN traffic. To be honest, I bought my first 2011 just because the LCD and the SFP. Unit comes with 1U rackmount case, RS232 serial port and dual redundant power. The device supports IPsec hardware acceleration (up to 2.2Gbps with AES128). For Service Providers - CCR.īut for a remote branch/office where you have 1-2 WANs and the rest of the ports will be used on LANs, the RB1100 has switch groups and fits the needs better. RB1100AHx4 is a router with 13x Gigabit Ethernet ports, powered by Annapurna Alpine AL21400 CPU with four Cortex A15 cores, clocked at 1.4GHz each, for a maximum throughput of up to 7.5Gbit. When using QoS and L7 firewall, CCR will shine even brighter. When routing between multiple interfaces, it will run circles around RB1100 all day long without a sweat. I then tried netinstall, and got the v7.1 installed.
In System -> Packages it shows the version as available, but when pressing download, it just keep saying Calculating - Install it is never happening.
CCR has no switch chip and each interface is directly connected to the CPU. My MikroTik RB1100AHx4 Dude Edition, with RouterOS 6.49.2, does not upgrade to RouterOS v7.1.
Then noone will buy CCRs, so this is the market question I suppose. 1100AHx4 would be the best fit, if it had the SFP port, the LCD and the USB.
