The RB250GS is a small SOHO switch in a plastic case.

It has five Gigabit ethernet ports powered by an Atheros Switch Chip.

It is powered by a new operating system designed specifically for MikroTik Switch products - SwOS.

SwOS is configurable from your web browser. It gives you all the basic functionality for a managed switch, plus more: Allows to manage port-to-port forwarding, apply MAC filter, configure VLANs, mirror traffic, apply bandwidth limitation and even adjust some MAC and IP header fields.
