Transceiver reseller from Guadalajara. Mostly Huawei and H3C.
I am specifying a fibre ring for a customer's plant network and the switch choice is already fixed: Moxa EDS-518A. The BOM went out with generic 1G optics, because our stock room is full of them, and now the customer's own engineer insists that only Moxa-branded modules may be fitted. switches…
I look after a small pool of FreeBSD boxes and I am adding 10G to one of them. The card went in, the machine boots fine, but the OS refuses to make an interface out of it. Server on FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p1, stock GENERIC kernel QLogic FastLinQ QL41112 dual-port 10GbE SFP+ adapter SFP+ optics in…
On an Intel S2600WFT board the X722 10GbE SFP+ controller (rev 09, NVM 3.31 0x80000d31 1.1767.0) refused ethtool -m with Cannot get module EEPROM information: Invalid argument, and the kernel logged Module EEPROM memory read not supported. Please update the NVM image. The behaviour was identical…
My fibre WAN runs into a Turris Omnia and I moved from the ISP box to an XPON stick to drop one hop. The stick is a 2.5G part, the Omnia cage does 2.5G, and everything still lands at 1G. Turris Omnia, Turris OS 7.0.2 HBS, kernel 5.15.148 Luleey LL-XS2510 XPON SFP, RTL960x based, DFP-34X-2C2 family…
We hand over industrial cabinets with the customer's own monitoring on top, so readable DDMI on the uplink ports is part of the acceptance list. On an RGS200-12P the two ports that matter refuse to print anything at all after DDMI is enabled, even though both links are up and forwarding. Zyxel…
The poster wanted to verify whether an HPE StorageWorks 81B 8 Gb Fibre Channel HBA (AP769-60001) fitted with an AJ716B SFP could be used in an HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server (P02464-B21) and asked for a tool where part numbers can be entered to get a compatibility verdict. No error had occurred…
The poster wanted a cheap 10G link between servers with Intel X520-DA2 NICs and an HP switch and worried that a direct-attach cable is coded either for Intel or for HP but not both. A respondent shared that two X520-DA2 cards would not link directly over a DAC in their case, but a Dell DAC…
The poster, validating their product against Cisco Nexus 9000 switches (a Nexus C9332D-GX2B chassis), is blocked by bug CSCwo18785: configuring 200G on a QSFP-200G DAC fails with 'ERROR: The transceiver doesn't support this speed'. The cable is a Mellanox MCP1650-H002E26 200GbE DAC; connected…
The psoter planned to install an Intel X520 adapter (Cisco PID N2XX-AIPCI01) into a Cisco UCS C240 server and use Cisco SFP-10G-SR or SFP-10G-LR transceivers, and asked whether the combination has compatibility problems. A later reader asked whether the Cisco SFP-H10GB-CU3M= twinax cable would work…
