   @equinox @benjojo @jeff I'm very happy with a CRS354-48P-4S+2Q+RM as my core switch at home, but do not trust the L3+ features.

   I use VLANs, LAG, and RSTP and not much else.

     @benjojo @jeff running a WISP, I can second this. They work but the higher you go in the stack the more likely you are to run into weirdness. Also they're painful on the OAM side due to their... "unique"... CLI and general OS behaviour. Not bad per se, but different from everything else.

     @jeff I have a CRS317-1G-16S+ in production for bgp.tools in the NL as a low power "port expander", it's fine, it's just tagging VLANs and it's been fine, I however have hit weird shit ™️ with 'tik's OSPF/BGP and a bunch of the other Layer 3 stuff.

     Tik is likely fine if your entire estate is tik (a lot of WISPs fall into this class) but it can be dicey otherwise. But the less things you are doing the better it all tends to go

     (edit: woops, I didnt mean to boost you, but it seems I cannot un-boost now, my apologies)

     @benjojo @asl Genuine question: Would you feel safe using Mikrotik switches without doing anything too fancy? VLANs but no routing. I’ve been avoiding them for years out of fear, but I really want to go faster and use less power.
