I just learned of an opening at Mount Vernon.Net in Mount Vernon, IL.
Here are the details from Scriv...

We have been using the switch in a few RB450s, and have seen no
problems. However, this is on a few remote POPs that currently peak at
less than 20 Mbps.
We're not using the switch on any of our 493s yet.

So have you actually used switching on a routerboard? Is it reliable?

Quoting Scott Reed :
The switches will be much better than the bridging. Just remember
that there are 2 groups of 4, each group on a chip. Not sure what
they do between the 2 chips.

I don't dare run a "regular" switch because:
1. The site is on a mountain top that is not easily accessible in the
wintertime, and the power is less than reliable. Therefore, I need
something with very low power draw.
2. The RB493G is in a cabinet that is not climate controlled. It gets
The 493G uses a different switch chip than the other 493 variants (see
http://routerboard.com/pdf/327/rb493ugA.pdf). The older ICPlus178C
used in the 493 and 493AH has an approximate 200 Mbps switching fabric,
but the AR8316 used in the 493G switches at 1 Gbps.
That does not speak to the way

I've had a very very good run with the 493 and 493ah. I've had one
software glitch where it needed rebooted - updated it two summers ago
and it's been good since. I am excluding storm damages (tower
equipment died so the RB dying was just another broken part to fix).

IIRC, 493Gs have two switch chips.
If you have to do software bridging 130 megs might be a bit much for it.
That's why I'm looking at using the switches rather than bridging.
I'm hoping that using the switches wil

Can anyone comment on the switching capabilities in MT routerboards
such as the 493G? Any gotchas I should be aware of before I try using
it in critical applications? I've been using bridging, but I seem to
be bumping up against a "throughput ceiling" of about 130 Mbps. I'm

This upcoming training, which will cover IPv6 in RouterOS is coming very
soon. This is a great opportunity to learn about how you can begin the
IPv6 implementation in your network. Registration and course details
