Is there any hardware acceleration at all if you use bridges? My needs are actually pretty simple with this switch, but I do need it to move a few hundred megs.

If bridging turns out to not be fast enough, and RSTP isn't available as a switch, then do I have any fallback option? Port isloation? VLAN's? I feel like a simple job just became a hard one.

I see it in the Bridge menu but not the Switch menu. I'm guessing you don't want to do your switching in software, especially since some of the CRS models have underpowered CPUs on the assumption most of the traffic will be switched in the switch chips.

I wonder if the switch chips don't support STP, or Mikrotik just hasn't written the firmware to enable it.

Does the CRS really not do RSTP?  I can't find it in Winbox, and I read
some forum posts suggesting that it isn't there.

What other methods do I have available to prevent an accidental loop?
