SFP+ DACs linked MikroTik-to-MikroTik and OLT-to-OLT, but between a V-SOL EPON OLT 16008D and a CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS or CRS326-24G-2S+RM the OLT reported the interface as disconnected. The same DACs were recognised on both platforms, so the poster suspected a cross-vendor auto-negotiation or…
On a CRS226-24G-S2+RM (RouterOS 6.42.11 long-term) the SFP+ port stayed at no link, not running, slave after a power loss, while software reboots were fine; disabling and re-enabling the interface fixed it manually. The problematic module was a Huawei MA5671A GPON SFP, other SFPs behaved, and the…
After upgrading a CRS305-1G-4S+ to SwOS 2.12, SFP-GE-T 1000BASE-T copper SFPs stopped linking although the switch still identified them in the SFP tab; the same modules kept working on a CRS317-1G-16S+ with the same firmware. Modules inserted before the upgrade continued to work, modules inserted…
On a CRS326-24G-2S+ with RouterOS 7.7 three third-party 1G RJ45 SFPs failed: an HP 453156-001 (FCLF-8521-3-HP) showed no-link with auto-negotiation: failed, a Foundry E1MG-TX showed no-link with sfp-rx-loss: yes even with manual speed, and a Ubiquiti UF-RJ45-1G also stayed at no-link. Hardware…
A MikroTik CCR1036-8G-2S+ with S-31DLC20D 1.25G single-mode SFPs reported link OK but no traffic flowed; TX power was blank and RX was -9 dBm. The identical module on the same fibre worked in a CCR1036-12G-4S. Port disable/enable, forcing 1G full duplex on both ends and support tickets did not…
Two FS.com 1G BiDi SFPs (1490/1310 and 1310/1490 nm) in a MikroTik CRS326-24G-2S+ running SwOS 2.9 detected incoming light around -6 dBm but never established a link; the same optics linked on a Netgear switch. The poster asked whether a manual speed setting was needed and whether RouterOS would…
FS.com 40 km 1550 nm SFP+ modules (item 11592) showed their information in a MikroTik CCR1016 but never linked in the SFP+ ports, whatever the auto-negotiation, 1G/10G speed or flow-control settings; standard 10G modules (item 29851) worked in the same ports, and the 40 km modules ran at 1G in…
A MikroTik CSS610-8P-2S+ (SwOS Lite) needed to connect its SFP+ ports to a Cisco Nexus 5596UP. The ports showed the transceivers in the web UI but no link, after trying several fibre cables and transceivers. The switch web UI listed vendor and type for each module, yet the port stayed at no-link…
With two dual-port Mellanox ConnectX-4 cards, a MikroTik SFP+ switch, 1 m OM4 patches and mixed 10G/25G transceivers from several vendors, one NIC port showed link UP but got no DHCP and could not route, 25G transceivers negotiated only 1G, and previously stable 10G links dropped intermittently…
I do small business installs, and this one is a fibre service handed off on an ADVA FSP 150-GE102Pro. The customer wants the WAN terminated on their own router instead of the carrier box, so it has to land in the SFP+ cage of a MikroTik RB4011iGS+. Nobody told me what fibre the service actually…
Small tower site: an RB4011 in a ventilated roadside cabinet feeding a couple of radios, with one 10GBASE-T copper hop over to the switch because there was already cable in the duct. The port drops out on warm afternoons and comes back at night, which points fairly clearly at the module rather than…
Moving my home FTTH line off the operator's ONT and onto a GPON stick in my own router, so that the fibre lands straight in the rack and I keep one box instead of two. The stick is recognised, the port comes up, and then nothing comes back. MikroTik CRS328-24P-4S+, stick in sfp-sfpplus1…
We push traffic from a lab server into a CRS518-16XS-2XQ over a 100G QSFP28 uplink, and it leaves the switch through a MikroTik S+RJ10 copper SFP+ into a plain 1G RJ45 host. The receiving side is missing a large share of the packets and I cannot pin it on anything obvious. Setup: MikroTik…
We are standing up four DGX Spark nodes for disttributed training and hung them off a MikroTik CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ. The plan was one 400G QSFP-DD port on the switch feeding two nodes at 200G each, so a couple of breakout cables cover the whole cluster. MikroTik CRS812-8DS-2DQ-2DDQ, QSFP-DD ports…
Home rack, and the RB5009 has exactly one SFP+ cage. I wanted a second copper gigabit uplink out of it rather than pulling fibre across the room, so a copper module went in instead. MikroTik RB5009UG+S+IN, RouterOS 7.1rc4 MikroTik S-RJ01 1000BASE-T copper SFP in sfp-sfpplus1 Cat6 patch, about three…
