MikroTik Smart PCIe Network Interface Card

The MikroTik smart PCIe network interface card seamlessly combines the functionality of a fully-fledged router with a 2x 25 Gigabit PCIe Ethernet adapter, enabling 25 Gigabit networks for space-saving solutions in your server room.

With four virtual Ethernet interfaces—two in passthrough mode to the 25G SFP28 cages and the other two bridged with Gigabit Ethernet for management access—you have full control to configure all interfaces and settings using the fully functional RouterOS. Equipped with a powerful quad-core ARMv8 64-bit CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 128MB of NAND storage, this NIC handles diverse tasks, from firewalls to user management and traffic control in data centers, eliminating the need for a standalone router.

While it boasts impressive capabilities, keep in mind that the CCR NIC card may require some initialization time during boot-up compared to ASIC-based setups. Ensure seamless integration by adding a PCIe device initialization delay in the BIOS or re-initializing the PCIe devices from the host system. Discover innovative ways to utilize this unconventional device, combining a high-speed networking card with a powerful Cloud Core Router.
