Summary of “MAS-ROS, Cap 1.4 - Nomenclatura de los productos”

This video lesson explains the naming conventions and specifications of MikroTik products, focusing primarily on router boards and cloud router switches. Understanding these naming conventions allows users to quickly identify the features and capabilities of the equipment just by reading their model names.

Main Ideas and Concepts

1. General Naming Format for MikroTik Router Boards (RB)

Router/switch names are composed of a series of letters and numbers that indicate the device’s characteristics.
The abbreviation for router boards is RB (Router Board).
The name typically includes:
- Board name and series
- Number of wired interfaces
- Number of wireless interfaces
- Characteristics of the CPU and power injection
- Wireless card specifications
- Connector type
- Enclosure type

2. Details of Router Board Naming Components

Three-digit code for the board:
- 1st digit: Series number
- 2nd digit: Number of wired Ethernet interfaces
- 3rd digit: Number of wireless interfaces
Special series names (e.g., 600, 800, 1200, 2011) indicate specific series or boards with more than 9 wired interfaces.
Letters indicating board characteristics:
- U: USB port
- P: Power over Ethernet (PoE) with controller
- i: PoE without controller (single port)
- H: More powerful CPU
- L: Light edition
- S: Switch device or PC expansion card
- X: Number of CPU cores
Wireless card details:
- Frequency bands (e.g., 5 GHz, 2.4 GHz)
- Protocol support (e.g., 802.11 a/b/g/n)
- Power levels (e.g., high power)
Connector types:
- MMS (type M connector)
- MSX1 (type F connector)
Enclosure types:
- B: Board only (no enclosure)
- RM: Rack mount
- N: Indoor enclosure
- OUT: Outdoor enclosure
- S/A: Sector antenna
- HG: High gain antenna
- E: Extended memory

3. Example Explained

Model: RB951-2HnD
- RB = Router Board
- 9 = Series 9
- 5 = Five wired Ethernet ports
- 1 = One wireless interface
- 2H = 2.4 GHz wireless card, high power
- n = Supports 802.11n protocol
- D = Includes a specific type of connector or enclosure (not fully detailed)

4. Naming for Cloud Router Switches (CRS)

Abbreviation: CRS
Format:
- First part: Four-digit number
  - 1st digit: Series
  - 2nd digit: Reserved number
  - 3rd and 4th digits: Number of CPU cores
- Port list indicating types and numbers of ports (Gigabit Ethernet, fiber, wireless)
- Enclosure type (same as router boards)
Another naming format includes a three-digit number plus port and enclosure details.
Wireless bands, power, and protocol support follow similar conventions as router boards.

5. Summary of Key Points

The naming convention encodes all essential hardware specs.
It includes series, interfaces, CPU power, wireless capabilities, connector types, and enclosures.
This systematic naming helps users quickly understand the device’s capabilities before purchase.

Methodology / Naming Breakdown (Detailed)

Router Board Naming (RB)

Format: RB + three-digit code + letters for features + wireless card info + connector + enclosure
Three-digit code:
- 1st digit = Series
- 2nd digit = Number of wired Ethernet ports
- 3rd digit = Number of wireless interfaces
Letters indicating features:
- U = USB port
- P = PoE with controller
- i = PoE without controller
- H = More powerful CPU
- L = Light edition
- S = Switch or expansion card
- X = Number of CPU cores
Wireless card:
- Frequency band (e.g., 5 GHz, 2.4 GHz)
- Protocol (a/b/g/n)
- Power level (e.g., high power)
Connectors:
- MMS (M type)
- MSX1 (F type)
Enclosure:
- B = Board only
- RM = Rack mount
- N = Indoor
- OUT = Outdoor
- S/A = Sector antenna
- HG = High gain antenna
- E = Extended memory

Cloud Router Switch Naming (CRS)

Format 1: CRS + four-digit number + port list + enclosure
- 1st digit = Series
- 2nd digit = Reserved
- 3rd & 4th digits = CPU cores
Format 2: CRS + three-digit number + port list + wireless + enclosure
- 1st digit = Connection type
- 2nd & 3rd digits = Number of wired interfaces
Ports and enclosure types follow the same conventions as router boards.
Wireless bands, power, and protocols are also similar.
