The MikroTik RB2011 is fully capable of running the OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol and there is no need to limit yourself to Cloud Core Router (CCR) equipment for this functionality.

RouterOS, which is the operating system run by all MikroTik devices, includes support for OSPF in all versions and on virtually all hardware models, including the RB2011.

Considerations for Using OSPF in RB2011

1. Hardware Capacity: While the RB2011 is suitable for small to medium business networks or less demanding scenarios, CCR devices are designed to handle a higher workload and a greater number of routes, which is beneficial in larger, more complex networks. Therefore, if your OSPF network is going to be large and complex, or if you anticipate growth that may require higher performance in the future, considering a CCR device could be a good investment.
2. OSPF configuration: Configuring OSPF on an RB2011 is done the same as on any other MikroTik device. You can establish OSPF areas, configure link types, and manage router priorities and link costs using standard RouterOS tools.
3. Scalability: For larger networks with multiple subnets and high traffic demands, more powerful routers such as the CCR series can offer better performance in terms of processing and handling larger route tables. However, for many small or medium-sized businesses, an RB2011 will be more than enough.
4. Efectivity cost: The RB2011 is a cheaper option compared to CCR devices. For an environment where routing and traffic requirements are moderate, the RB2011 offers excellent cost-effectiveness.

Conclusion

The MikroTik RB2011 is capable of running OSPF and may be a suitable solution depending on the size and complexity of your network.

Be sure to evaluate your current and future networking needs to make an informed decision about whether an RB2011 device or a CCR model would be the best choice for your OSPF configuration.
