RB1100 Details…A Few Anyway
As you know it is 13 port gig that shares the same processor as the RB800. It is supposed to have equivalent processing power as the RB1000, though. This guy has the two 5 port switching asics built in, so the switching backplane is split…which sucks. There are no SFP ports…I would have traded 5…

New Equipment Announcement Polish MUM (matka)
– RB1100 13-port gigabit rackmount router Looks like they are announcing the successor to the RB1K series. 13 port router…I hope some of those ports are SFP ports!

RB816 Daughterboard for RB800/RB600
It’s been something of a running joke; “When is Mikrotik going to make a switch?” Well, it appears as if they just did. Those shots look pretty good…I’m going to assume Normis took those 😛 Any way, this will increase the RB800/600s port density to 19 ports, which is a moderate size switch. Another interesting…

Guess Who Came To Visit?
They happened to be in the area, so they dropped by to say hello. I really enjoyed their presentation style and the Account Manager, Darian, is a pretty cool cat. I’ve always wanted to learn the Netscreens(Juniper firewall appliance), so it looks like it might be time to do it. From what I’m told, JunOS(the…
