Network core. Similar to Cisco 3750 from Mikrotik?
Hello.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about Mikrotik.
There is a flat grid 192.168.10.0/24. About 70 knots. I want to put it in order, make a bunch of VLANs. Traffic should be routed between them, and ACLs will be applied, as on the Cisco 3750 at least (there ACLs are slightly truncated). We need an L3 switch, such that the processor power is enough for these tasks. The switch will be the core of the network, the rest will be access level switches.
MikroTik CRS125-24G-1S-RM suitable for these tasks? Will it handle routing between VLANs and ACLs?

The CRS series is a rather specific thing, it is rather a SOHO router connected by 1-2 gigabit links to a multiport L2 switch. Don't believe the description "Layer 3 switch" - it's not.
L3 is very conditional there, or rather, completely software (unlike catalysts), you can’t route more than a gigabit (or two for dual-core CPUs) through it at all.
And CCR - depending on the model, can be generally purely software platforms and the speed / delays / losses are determined by the CPU load and a huge number of other factors.
So, if you want hardware L3, don't look at Mikrotik. L3 switches are enough without it.
If the software suits you, then CCR is better, with a careful study of the block diagrams.
