RB4011 SFP+ port does not link with a passive S+DA0001 DAC: only active cables (S+AO0005) are supported

A MikroTik RB4011 connected with an S+DA0001 DAC to a CRS106-1C-5S and a CRS112-8G-IN (all default configuration apart from IP addresses) had no connectivity over the SFP link. The RB4011 SFP+ cage is documented to accept onyl active direct-attach cables, so a passive twinax between it and the two…

CSS326-24G-2S+ and Intel 82599 NIC fail to link over an S+DA0001 DAC; switch-to-switch DAC only reaches 1G

With a CSS326-24G-2S+ (SwOS 2.6) and a server with an Intel 82599 card, two different S+DA0001 DACs and two Intel cards never linked; two CSS326 switches connected by DAC only achieved 1 Gbps. A later reader on SwOS 2.12 with an 82599 reported the same. No solution was posted. Hardware involved…

10Gtek ASF-GE-T copper SFPs stop linking on a CRS309 after RouterOS 7.14 because of a wrongly programmed EEPROM

After upgrading a CRS309-1G-8S+IN from RouterOS 6.48.6 to 7.14.1 (and 7.15beta8), ports 5 and 7 with 10Gtek ASF-GE-T (FTRJ8519P1BNL-PT) copper SFPs showed sfp-rx-loss: yes and no-link when auto-negotiation was enabled; disabling auto-negotiation and forcing 1G full duplex restored the link…

MikroTik GPON ONU SFP: registration questions and a 100 percent failure rate in outdoor summer conditions

A user with a MikroTik GPON ONU SFP module in a RouterBOARD facing a FiberLink OLT saw the interface as registered but the module serial never appeared in the OLT for provisioning. The thread turned into a reliability report: an operator lost every deployed MikroTik GPON module within two months of…

CRS312 to UniFi USW-Pro-48 could only link at 1G after a RouterOS upgrade; the RouterBOARD firmware had not been updated

A MikroTik CRS312-4C+8XG (RouterOS 7.13.4) and a Ubiquiti USW-Pro-48 (6.6.61) over 20 m OM3 with SR 850 nm SFP+ optics would only negotiate 1G full duplex; 10G attempts failed with no link and occasional Rx Fault on the UniFi side. Several fibre and transceiver combinations were tested and RouterOS…

1G optics in MikroTik SFP+ ports: forced 1G fails to an RBFTC11 while auto-negotiation causes FCS errors to a CRS328

Contradicting MikroTik's documented advice to force 1G full duplex when using 1G optics in SFP+ ports, a Netpower Lite 7R linked to an RBFTC11 only with auto-negotiation (forced 1G gave link up but zero received packets), while the same Netpower to a CRS328-4C-20S-4S+ had heavy packet loss and FCS…

Baudcom GPON ONU SFP stick in a MikroTik hEX S registers on the OLT but the SFP WAN interface cannot route

Replacing the ISP ONU with a Baudcom DB-1234-SFM GPON SFP stick in a hEX S: the stick registered with the OLT and obtained an IP with the spoofed MAC, but with sfp1 as WAN pings returned network unreachable, although the same configuration on ether1 (behind the ISP ONU) worked and Winbox showed no…

CSS610-8G-2S+IN shows link on SFP+ ports but Intel X520 NICs never see it; SwOS 2.13rc12 works, later builds do not

A MikroTik CSS610-8G-2S+IN showed an active SFP+ link, but Intel X520-DA1/DA2 NICs (Windows, Linux, ESXi) reported no link, reproducibly across multiple transceiver pairs, DACs and two cards. Firmware 2.12, 2.13rc6, 2.13rc12, 2.13rc25 and the final 2.13 were tested. Hardware involved: MikroTik…

Passive XS+DA0001 DAC between an RB3011 SFP port and a CRS309 SFP+ port only links after limiting advertised speeds

The poster wanted to use a MikroTik XS+DA0001 passive DAC between the 1G SFP port of an RB3011 and an SFP+ port of a CRS309 and asked whether a passive cable can bridge different SFP generations. The RB3011 SFP cage is 1G only while the CRS309 cage is SFP+ (10G), and a passive DAC has no active…
