I'm very newb to the RouterOS. So please bare with me.
Here is a picture part of the network topology where I am planning to put the Mikrotik CRS305-1g-4s+in. All it will be doing is routing internet traffic on a 500Mbps symmetric fiber for about 400clients. No BGP/OSPF/etc... we don't have any static IPs.
All the heavy lifting will be done on a DX010 (Tomahawk) as the core L3 switch, SVI and routing table will be there.
Question #1 - Will the CRS305 be able to handle this traffic? no services will be running on it other than NAT and firewall.
Question #2 - Will I gain any benefits if I use the bridge function. As you can see in my diagram, I am only using SFPPort 1 (WAN) and SFPPort2 (LAN). I was going through the first time configuration guide and that's what it said to do. But not sure if it will make any difference or draw backs
Question #3 - Since I am using POE to power the router/switch on ether1, I like to only use that port as the management port which is our VLAN254 (10.0.254.0/24). looking at the interface tab for Vlan there is a check box for "Use Service Tag" what does that exactly mean?
