I do something similar. I've been deploying CCR1009 and UBNT Edgepoint
(S16). 10G from CCR to Edgeopoint using Vlans, I've had no problems
with that. Then the Edgepoint handles all the POE.

we have 1100ahx2 and ahx4 at all the sites. these are just for
switching and port aggregation mostly. we vlan isolate the aggregate

I can't think of specific problems with them. Maybe I've had
problems like Adam, but spread over years I don't remember. Just
keep in mind their use case. If you're doing simple routing at a
site that's moving ~100mb, then they're probably fine. If you
want full throughput of a couple 1G 820C radio, you'd probably
want something else (when routing, they would probably L2 just
fine). I've always used them as routers.

Like Nate, we had a few of them and had no problems. Then we
deployed 25 or 30 of them to small sites. Most of the time they
just sit there and run. Over the past few years we've just had a
few scattered instances where we had to reboot them when traffic
wouldn't move to one port.
There's one at a hub site with several backhauls plugged into
it....that one actually needed a reboot a couple of times so we
replaced it. Then it needed a reboot again a couple more times
since then.
These events are scattered over 3-4 years so I'm not saying
they're UN-reliable, they're just not critical infrastructure
level of reliable.

I have some opinions on this.
1) Yes they're cheap.
2) They run ROS, so if a newb comes along who doesn't realize
that this is switch hardware and it has a crappy CPU, then that
newb might try to make firewall rules and VPN tunnels and other
such router functionality in the config. That will be a mistake
because the CPU is weak and you will get crappy performance.
Leave it as an L2 switch and the performance is perfectly fine.
3) Configuring L2 functions on the switch menu in ROS is
obtuse. I've messed with VLAN's, port isolation, and port
mirroring. It's all strangely difficult to understand and use.
4) I've had them just decide one day that they'll stop
forwarding packets to one or more interfaces and then "fixed"
them with a reboot. I've also had them sit there and do their
thing as a basic managed switch for several years with no issue.
I would not use them for critical infrastructure anymore, but a
switch with a small form factor and extended operating
temperature spec generally costs several times what the CRS
costs so I'd still consider it for the right circumstance. I
can't tell you what the right circumstance is. That's your call.

We usually use the lower end HP procurve switches, we have had
zero problems with them over the years, but now theyre office
connect and seem that all the 24 port ones are going deep
instead of 10 inches.
The CRS stuff is 1/2 to 1/3 the cost of comparable HP switches.
Have any of you degenerates used these very much and stayed
with them? We route with mikrotiks so we are aware of the
mikrotik funky stuff, the cost offsets those
