Ideal for high-performance networking, it supports Fast Ethernet (10/100) connectivity, ensuring efficient data transfer and management.

## Long description

The MikroTik CRS518-16XS-2XQ-RM is an enterprise-grade managed switch designed for high-density 25/100 Gigabit networks and rack mounting. It provides 16 SFP28 ports (25 Gbps each) and 2 QSFP28 ports (100 Gbps each), dual hot-swappable power supplies and fans, and a Marvell Prestera Aldrin2 switch chip for hardware offloaded L3 routing. The device supports common datacenter and enterprise features while remaining compatible with 10G and 1G SFP modules on the 25G ports.
Advantages
The switch delivers high port density and throughput suited for distribution-layer deployments, with dual-redundant hot-swap power supplies and fans to reduce downtime. Backward compatibility of the 25G SFP28 ports with 10G and 1G SFP modules offers deployment flexibility. Hardware offloading on the Marvell Prestera Aldrin2 chip enables efficient L3 routing and improved performance for large traffic volumes. Rack-mount form factor and a wide input voltage range (100–240 V) make it suitable for standard datacenter environments.
Suitable for
Enterprise distribution-layer switching in data centers
High-performance aggregation and uplink switching
Networks requiring hardware L3 offloading and ACL/LACP/MLAG support
Environments needing redundancy via hot-swappable power supplies and fans

How to use
Install the CRS518-16XS-2XQ-RM into a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting hardware. Connect uplink(s) to the QSFP28 ports for 100 Gbps aggregation and connect access or server links to the SFP28 ports, using compatible SFP/ SFP28/QSFP28 transceivers or DACs as required. Configure network settings and features via RouterOS through the console or network management interfaces to enable VLANs, LACP, MLAG and hardware offloaded routing policies. Use the dual power inputs to connect to redundant power sources; hot-swap procedures are supported for the fans and power supply units.
Usage recommendations
Keep RouterOS up to date and plan cabling and transceiver types in advance. For best performance, use certified SFP28/QSFP28 modules and verify that L3 offload and ACL rules match your traffic policy. Ensure redundant power feeds and monitor temperature and fan status to minimize downtime.
