MikroTik 25G SFP PCIe Network Card/Router CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIE - Description
Save valuable rack and floor space in your server room with the MikroTik CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIE, an ingenious PCIe network interface card that incorporates a full-fledged CCR2004 router directly inside your server. This breakthrough design fuses a high-speed dual 25-Gigabit PCIe Ethernet adapter with the unmatched power and flexibility of MikroTik's industry-standard RouterOS.
Dual-Purpose Power: NIC and Enterprise Router
By default, the host server's PCIe interface exposes four virtual Ethernet interfaces. Two operate in high-efficiency passthrough mode directly linked to the dual 25G SFP28 cages, while the remaining two virtual interfaces are bridged to the physical Gigabit Ethernet port for dedicated out-of-band management. Because it runs full RouterOS, system administrators can configure firewalls, access policies, VLANs, and traffic shaping directly on the card without relying on external routing appliances.
Uncompromised 100Gbps Wire-Speed Performance
Engineered to prevent server bottlenecks, the CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIE leverages an advanced FastForward FastPath passthrough mode that reliably communicates hardware link states while achieving wire-speed throughput (up to 100Gbps using Jumbo frames). Powered by a quad-core ARMv8 64-bit CPU, 4 GB of RAM, and 128 MB NAND storage, it handles heavy enterprise workloads, storage transfers, and complex access control policies effortlessly.
