Also sometimes these are called CSS106 instead of RB260 - they tried to rename them when they made them SwitchOS 2 compatible but it isnвЂ™t consistent or universal. I donвЂ™t consider this a problem, but something to be aware of. Both run SwitchOS - however if you get old stock then you may get one that can only run SwitchOS 1 not SwitchOS 2.

The RB260GS or RB260GSP is a better choice. Using the hEX S as a media center switch is a bad idea not just for the programming as above, but cost wise. This means you should either only use RouterOS on CRS3xx devices (CRS328, CRS309, etc), or only use SwitchOS on CRS3xx/CSS3xx devices (CRS328, CRS309, CSS326, etc). While the networking principals are the same, the interfaces are very different. While it is OK to mix and match devices from different vendors, I would not mix and match devices using RouterOS and devices using SwitchOS (the exception being if you decided to use a Mikrotik router instead of PFSense).

All other Mikrotik devices use RouterOS only. CRS3xx devices have the choice of SwitchOS or RouterOS. On these they completely rebuilt their programming so that everything is done via the Bridge menu in RouterOS mode (CRS3xx devices), and made SwitchOS version 2 (CRS3xx and CSS3xx devices) which is very streamlined and straightforward for purely switching use cases.Д¬SS devices, and the RB260 devices, only run SwitchOS. The third setup type is that for CRS3xx/CSS3xx devices. The second is CRS1xx and CRS2xx devices, they have nearly all the features one expects from a managed switch, but have to be programmed via the Switch menu, which basically amounts to programming the chip yourself - for example to make a port be вЂњuntaggedвЂќ or вЂњaccessвЂќ for a certain VLAN, you have to tell the switch chip to convert the traffic to/from the VLAN for both ingress and egress, on two different pages.

On those the options are the most basic, because the device is intended as a router and the switch builtin is only meant to provide multiple LAN ports. The first and most rudimentary is the setup for devices that arenвЂ™t labeled as a Switch - meaning the hEX S. Mikrotik has gone through several iterations in their switch setup. If you want to look at Mikrotik for switching, only use CRS3xx or CSS devices. I have Pfsense, Mikrotek, Unifi ? Will this lead to issues later ?ДЄs an experienced network engineer who is comfortable with everything youвЂ™ve mentioned (PFSense, Unifi switching and APs, Mikrotik RouterOS and SwitchOS for routers, switches, and APs) I have several different points of feedback.

Is it ok to mix and match multiple vendors in a network setup.

Are the models chosen good from a reliability point of view Cant have the switches acting funny or misbehaving or failing.

For me reliability is of utmost importance.

Pfsense of local PC -> Mikrotik CRS309-1g-8s 10g -> Mikrotik CSS326-24G-2S+RM -> Mikrotik hEX S RB760iGS (for media centre) + 2 Unifi AP - UAP-AC-PRO Pfsense of local PC -> Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S+RM -> Mikrotik hEX S RB760iGS (for media centre) + 2 Unifi AP - UAP-AC-PRO if this is not available then i was thinking of going with the combination of CSS326-24G-2S+RM and CRS309-1g-8s 10g But there could be an issue of availability of this model (Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S+RM) in my country. For now i need only 4 10g ports so this would suffice, but if i need more i will have to purchase the CRS305-1G-4S+IN. For switches i thought of going with Mikrotik CRS328-24P-4S+RM as this has 4 10g ports and 24 Gig ports in addition to POE. So what i was thinking was to use Mikrotik for the switches and stick to Unifi for Wi-Fi access points. Also the general feedback seems to be that Mikrotik Access Points are just not worth the effort compared to Unifi.

I researched the brand a bit more and what i seem to have found is that Mikrotik from a switches hardware point of view is same if not better than Unifi switches, but from a software perspective Unifi is way better and hence there is a steep learning curve with Mikrotik. ThatвЂ™s when i came across Toms video on Mikrotik 10g Switch. Pfsense of Local PC -> Unifi 10G switch US 16 XG -> USW-24Port-POE -> USW 5 port switch (for media centre) + 2 Unifi AP - UAP-AC-PROДЄnyways I was calculating the cost of this setup in terms of just switches and APs, it works out to about the equivalent of USD 1500. Netgate is unbelievably expensive in my country.

UDM PRO -> Unifi 10G switch US 16 XG -> USW-24Port-POE -> USW 5 port switch (for media center) + 2 Unifi AP - UAP-AC-PROД«ut after doing some research on UDM PRO and raising the same here on this forum and responses from Tom i have now dropped the UDM Pro and replaced it with PFsense, but will be running this on an old PC for now. I had originally thought of going fully Unifi as follows: I was planning to revamp my network setup.
