Manual:CRS1xx/2xx series switches

Applies to RouterOS: v6.8 +

Summary

The Cloud Router Switch series are highly integrated switches with high performance MIPS CPU and feature-rich packet processor. The CRS switches can be designed into various Ethernet applications including unmanaged switch, Layer 2 managed switch, carrier switch and wireless/wired unified packet processing.

Abbreviations and Explanations

CVID - Customer VLAN id: inner VLAN tag id of the IEEE 802.1ad frame

SVID - Service VLAN id: outer VLAN tag id of the IEEE 802.1ad frame

IVL - Independent VLAN learning - learning/lookup is based on both MAC addresses and VLAN IDs.

SVL - Shared VLAN learning - learning/lookup is based on MAC addresses - not on VLAN IDs.

TPID - Tag Protocol Identifier

PCP - Priority Code Point: a 3-bit field which refers to the IEEE 802.1p priority

DEI - Drop Eligible Indicator

DSCP - Differentiated services Code Point

Drop precedence - internal CRS switch QoS attribute used for packet enqueuing or dropping.

Generic Configuration
