A D-Link DES-3200-28 B1 switch logged DDM Port X optic module RX power exceeded the low warning/alarm threshold; the optical level looked abnormally low in the switch although the module measured fine when tested standalone. Hardware involved: D-Link DES-3200-28 B1, DDM-capable SFP. Reported…
A T2600G-28TS (TL-SG3424) uplinked over fibre to another building using D-Link transceivers and media converters showed the SFP port UP and transmitting but never receiving packets. Restart, factory reset and other SFP ports were tried. Another user returned the switch after failing to link it to…
Home setup, everything in one rack. I want to connect the NAS to the switch faster than gigabit, but I don't want to run fiber: the distance is about five meters, a plain patch cord covers it. D-Link DGS-1250-28X switch, SFP+ ports free TerraMaster F4-424 Max NAS, copper RJ-45 port short Cat6a…
Homelab switch: a D-Link DGS-1210-28 revision F1 that I flashed with OpenWrt so I could stop fighting the stock web UI. Everything works except the last four ports, which are the copper/fibre combo ones. Switch: D-Link DGS-1210-28 rev F1 Firmware: OpenWrt 21.02.0-rc3 (r16172-2aba3e9784) Ports…
Servicing a small office network, two buildings linked by a single single-mode fiber that contractors pulled. The job was supposed to take half an hour: bring up a gigabit link between the switches in the two buildings. It's been two weeks and it still won't come up. What's installed: main…
The poster wanted to run 100 Mbps fibre SFP modules in a D-Link DES-3200-28F but the vendor compatibility list only named older switches (DES-1228, DES-1252, DGS-3612G). The question was whether the list was simply stale or whether the modules would be rejected by the newer switch. A related…
