MikroTik RB1100AHx4 1U Rackmount Gigabit Router | 13× Gigabit Ethernet, 1GB RAM, M.2 SATA, RouterOS L6

MikroTik RB1100AHx4 1U Rackmount Gigabit Router

The MikroTik RB1100AHx4 is a professional 1U rackmount Gigabit Ethernet router designed for business networks, enterprise routing, ISP infrastructure, branch offices and advanced network management applications. It combines 13 Gigabit Ethernet ports, a quad-core ARM processor, 1GB RAM, NAND storage and RouterOS Level 6 in a compact rackmount platform.

The RB1100AHx4 is a wired routing platform with no integrated Wi-Fi radios. It is intended for deployments where routing, firewalling, VPN, VLANs, traffic management and multiple wired network interfaces are more important than built-in wireless connectivity.

13× Gigabit Ethernet Ports

The RB1100AHx4 provides 13 × 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet ports, giving network administrators multiple copper interfaces for connecting LAN segments, switches, servers, access points and other network infrastructure.

The large number of Gigabit ports allows the router to be deployed as a central routing platform without immediately requiring an additional access switch for every network segment. Port configuration and network segmentation can be managed through RouterOS.

Quad-Core ARM CPU

The RB1100AHx4 is powered by a quad-core Annapurna Labs Alpine AL21400 ARM CPU operating at up to 1.4GHz. It includes 1GB DDR4 RAM, providing the processing resources required for advanced RouterOS networking functions.

This hardware platform is suitable for routing, firewall, NAT, VPN, VLAN, QoS and other network services used in professional deployments.

RouterOS Level 6

The RB1100AHx4 runs MikroTik RouterOS with a Level 6 license. RouterOS provides a broad networking feature set for professional network administrators.

• IP routing
• Static and dynamic routing
• OSPF and BGP deployments
• Firewall and NAT
• VLAN configuration
• VPN services
• DHCP server and client
• QoS and traffic management
• Bandwidth management
• Policy routing
• IPv4 and IPv6 networking
• Network monitoring
• WinBox management
• WebFig management
• Command-line configuration

Dual M.2 SATA Storage Interfaces

A major feature of the RB1100AHx4 is its two M.2 SATA interfaces. These interfaces can be used with compatible M.2 SATA storage devices for additional storage functionality.

The integrated storage interfaces make the RB1100AHx4 different from many conventional MikroTik routers that rely only on internal flash storage. Storage configuration should be planned according to the requirements of the intended RouterOS deployment and compatible M.2 SATA hardware.

1U Rackmount Design

The RB1100AHx4 is designed for professional network cabinets and server racks. Its 1U rackmount form factor makes it suitable for data rooms, ISP racks, enterprise network cabinets and branch-office infrastructure.

The rackmount design helps keep routing hardware organized alongside switches, fiber equipment, servers, UPS systems and other network infrastructure.

Hardware Acceleration and Routing Performance

The RB1100AHx4 is designed to deliver high-performance routing using its quad-core ARM processor and dedicated switching architecture. MikroTik’s published performance tests demonstrate multi-gigabit throughput under specific fast-path and test configurations.

Actual throughput depends on packet size, firewall rules, queues, VPN encryption, routing configuration, enabled RouterOS services and traffic patterns. Manufacturer benchmark figures should therefore be treated as reference measurements rather than guaranteed application throughput.

Hardware Encryption Acceleration

The RB1100AHx4 includes hardware-assisted cryptographic processing for supported encryption workloads. This makes it suitable for VPN and encrypted network applications where processing efficiency is important.

Actual VPN performance depends on the selected encryption algorithms, tunnel configuration, packet size, number of tunnels and other RouterOS processing requirements.

Professional Networking Applications

The combination of 13 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, quad-core ARM processing, 1GB RAM, RouterOS Level 6 and 1U rackmount design makes the RB1100AHx4 suitable for several professional networking applications.

• Enterprise network routing
• ISP and WISP infrastructure
• Branch-office routing
• Network aggregation
• Firewall and NAT gateway
• VPN gateway
• VLAN-based network segmentation
• Multi-network routing
• Data center edge routing
• SMB and enterprise network cores
• Centralized wired network management

Wired Router Without Built-In Wi-Fi

The RB1100AHx4 does not include built-in Wi-Fi. Wireless connectivity can be provided by connecting separate access points to its Gigabit Ethernet ports.

This architecture is useful for professional deployments where the router is installed inside a network rack while multiple wireless access points are positioned throughout an office, hotel, campus, warehouse or other facility.

Network Segmentation with VLANs

RouterOS allows the RB1100AHx4 to be configured for VLAN-based network segmentation. Separate networks can be created for departments, guest users, VoIP, surveillance, servers and management traffic according to the network design.

VLAN routing and firewall policies can then be used to control communication between network segments.

Firewall and Traffic Management

RouterOS provides extensive firewall and traffic-management capabilities. Administrators can create firewall rules, NAT policies, address lists and traffic-management policies according to the requirements of the network.

The router can therefore serve as a central gateway between internal LAN networks and upstream Internet or WAN connections.
