Yup, same opinion here. Maybe it made more sense in the original
Latvian or something.
I've also had one or two lockups requiring a reboot. I'm never amused
by that.
My final issue is more about new technicians. If somebody familiar with
RouterOS comes along and starts configuring that switch like it was a
router then you'll find out quickly that they have a very cheap CPU.
There's a reason the Mikrotik switch was only $200. I'd wonder if they
could run RouterOS in a "switch mode" where the buttons for L3 features
are hidden.

The VLAN configuration on Mikrotik switches is almost as confounding
as possible.

Try a Mikrotik switch if you think the IgniteNet is bad.
I had no problem figuring out VLANs on IgniteNet. *shrugs*

We are using a few Ignite fusion fiber switches. Big complaint is
that there is some strange incompatibility with 844GEs where it
will sometimes cause the 844GE to reset its WAN VLAN settings if
the ignite switch gets power cycled. Not sure if this has
anything to do with ignite, but it doesn't happen with any other
switch we have tried.
VLAN settings are also mind bogglingly stupid. It can do most
things except adding two tags, but the way it is configured makes
zero sense.
Power/heat and dimensions are all good.

We primarily use the HP Procurve J9803A (I think theyre called
Office Connect or something now) With LACP for bonding our 2+0
SAF links. We have a site going in that will have three bonded
links so I need at least 6 SFP. The new name of these also
changed the corm factor, theyre deeper and wont fit in some of
our enclosures.
We dont do much with our switches beyond VLAN and LACP.
Whats a comparable option with the less then 10 inch depth but
still rackmount that wont take issue with HP LACP on the other
side of the link if that matters? Ive heard good/bad on the
mikrotik switches. These currently only need up to 2gbps
aggregate, but that will probably change over time. Im not
opposed to full SFP, but on our CCR we have a coup SFP gigabit
copper that are flaky, I dont know if thats a mikrotik thing
or a copper SFP thing
