Frequently Asked Questions
What is SwOS firmware and how does it differ from RouterOS?
SwOS is a lightweight management firmware for switches, providing VLAN, MAC filtering, and traffic control without routing—ideal for non-routing network aggregation.
Can I segregate office departments using VLANs on this switch?
Yes, SwOS VLAN support lets you create isolated broadcast domains for security and traffic management—e.g., separate finance, admin, and guest networks.
What does traffic mirroring enable on this managed switch?
Traffic mirroring copies traffic from one port to another, enabling network monitoring, intrusion detection, or packet analysis tools.
Is bandwidth limitation per-port or global on the RB260GS?
The switch supports per-port bandwidth limits, allowing you to restrict traffic for specific departments, devices, or guest connections.
What is the SFP cage useful for in a small office?
The SFP fiber port enables long-distance connections to another building or network switch without running copper cabling across the campus.
Is this switch suitable for a SOHO environment with wireless and wired clients?
Yes, the five Gigabit ports connect to computers, printers, and access points, while the SFP cage extends backbone reach.
