Mikrotik CLIĪlthough MikroTik does a lot to add more graphical configuration options available, the CLI is still accessible in just about every mode of management MikroTik offers. CLI can be accessed remotely through ssh, telnet, and a web interface or locally through the serial port. The command-line option offers full access to the router’s functionality and automation. RouterOS provides several management options. The router is running under MikroTik’s RouterOS which is a custom OS based on Linux kernel v3.3.5. That means this is now an NVIDIA-powered MikroTik router. In other words, hardware-wise it is a very capable platform and in the CCR1009-7G-1C-PC it is coupled with 1GB of DDR3 RAM.Īs a fun point, Tilera was purchased by EZChip which was purchased by Mellanox that was in-turn purchased by NVIDIA. In addition, the SoC includes a wide variety of connectivity, like two 10Gbps XAUI ports, up to twelve SGMII ports (multiplexed with XAUI), packet processing engine, crypto acceleration engine, 10 lanes of PCIe Gen2, etc. Each tile consists of a processor core as well as L1 and L2 cache and a non-blocking switch that connects the tiles in the mesh. CCR1009 BackĬCR1009-7G-1C-PC is based on a TLR4-00980 SoC containing 9 tiles interconnected with Tilera’s on-chip mesh network. The router can be powered by an external 24v 2.5A AC/DC adapter or PoE input, so the power is redundant. On the back of the device, we see a DC power-in jack, heatsink, and grounding screw. The CCR1009-7G-1C-PC can be rack-mounted using ears included in the package, which is a nice touch. MikroTik is using a metal enclosure with passive cooling based on two heat-pipes and a massive heat-sink at the back, so it is completely silent.

The device measures 272 x 190 x 44 mm, 892g, and has a maximum power consumption of 25W. In addition, we can see a recessed reset button, RS232 console port, LEDs, and a microUSB type-AB port. On the front of the device, we find one combo RJ45/SFP port, six regular RJ45 1GbE ports, and one POE-in RJ45 1Gbe port. MikroTik CCR1009-7G-1C-PC Hardware Overview In our review, we are going to see what this solution offers and how it performs. The unit offers more connectivity and throughput for those who need more than the entry-level solution offers. MikroTik CCR1009-7G-1C-PC is a step (or even two) up from rb750gr3 device we reviewed earlier.
