MikroTik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe

CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe – is an interface card with full-fledged router capabilities. The smart and easy way to create 25 Gigabit networks.

Save space in your server room by adding CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe within the server itself! This unique product combines a simple 2x 25 Gigabit PCIe Ethernet adapters with the impressive capabilities of a fully-fledged router.

By default, the PCIe interface will show up as four virtual Ethernet interfaces. Two interfaces in pass-through mode to the 25G SFP28 cages. The remaining two virtual Ethernet-PCIe interfaces are bridged with the Gigabit Ethernet port for management access. The user can configure all interfaces and settings freely using fully functional RouterOS.

To get this CCR device to work as an NIC, a new Passthrough mode was implemented. Basically, a FastForward FastPath mode that can also pass hardware link statuses. This NIC can reach wire-speed (100Gbps) with Jumbo frames. It ensures that in most server setups, this CCR network card will not be the bottleneck.

With 4 GB of RAM, 128 MB of NAND storage, and a powerful quad-core ARMv8 64-bit CPU, this device can handle a lot: firewalls, user management and access control for home media and file servers, and even some traffic control in data centers – without the need for a stand-alone router.
