As I understand it, Flow control is a positive thing to enable.

I put my Finisar 10Gbe modules back in between my music server (Intel X520-DA1) and the Mikrotik switch. When I tried to set the connection to 1Gbe in SwOS, it would not link up with the NIC. To change the speed, you have to turn off "auto-negotiation", then a pull-down box is activated for "speed". Otherwise, the "speed" is locked as shown. I suppose I could try to change settings on the NIC but don't really want to get into that effort. Eric Audio System Link to comment
ericuco Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I had an Intel dual rate SFP+ (see below) on hand so put that into my music server and used a Finisar SFP (FTLF85119P3BNL) in the MikroTik switch and it successfully connected at 1Gbe. I will try this for a few days to see if there is any difference. Although the SFP+ is an Intel brand, it appears to be made by Finisar based on the "FTL..." designation. In fact, you can find this on Amazon with the description of "INTEL FTLX8571D3BCV-IT Finisar 10GB/s 850nm Multimode SFP+SR Transceiver,H". jabbr 1 Eric Audio System Link to comment
jabbr Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 @ericuco That is how I envision using the dual 10/1 modules. If you wanted to compare results at 10 vs 1gbe speeds on the same network with the same hardware, you can change the settings. When I've tried to make comparisons by pulling out cables, changing SFP modules on both ends etc, its really hard and that's one reason I remain unsure that any changes, beyond going fiberoptic itself, make a difference -- i did run across a situation in which I think the copper ethernet cable wa transmitting some common mode noise. ericuco 1 Custom room treatments for headphone users.

R1200CL Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 So I’m having an issue with the 1421 between my Cisco 2960 and the oMDL. I’m not sure if this is because Cisco only accept Cisco modules, or something else. I rather think something else. Cause when plugging into another Cisco SG300-20 20-Port Gigabit , there isn’t any problem. Also no light in the 2960 fiber slot. Not sure if there shall be. What is others tests say on fiber from a 2960G ? I haven’t accessed the 2960 web interface yet. @TwinPeak Can you PM me that HW reset procedure ? Link to comment

R1200CL Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 About the Mikrotik. Remember to do the firmware upgrade. What's new in v2.13: *) properly report SFP port speed; *) make SFP port work in forced 1G speed mode; *) make fiber optic modules work with auto-negotiation (1000BaseX); *) fixed management access over SFP ports; *) CSS610: report temperature under System tab; *) fixed problem where logout blocked new logins for 5min; *) correctly forward snooped DHCP & PPPoE packets; *) accept only VLAN tagged packets if Allow-VLAN was specified; *) for ports with vlan-receive=any mode send out vlan packets with default vlan id as untagged; *) make Allow-From work; *) fixed ACL rule ip source & destination network matching; *) make ACL not match DSCP=0 by default if no value was specified; *) fixed SNMP GetBulk; *) make SNMP sysUpTimeInstance to not overflow in 5min; *) correctly report extended SNMP info about SFP ports; *) fixed LAG linking and monitoring; *) make LAG use L2 hash based load balancing; Edit: I noticed my previous post was a victim of automatic spelling. “presented” was meant to be present. Well in any case no big deal. 😀 Link to comment

R1200CL Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 @plissken I guess you’re the one to ask. These modules is half price compared to the original FTLX1475D3BTL https://www.gbic-shop.de/FTLX1475D3BTL-kompatibel Should I expect such modules to comply 100% with the original Finisar data sheet ?

That would be a question for the OEM. Looks like that Finisar module is $105 for 10GB LR. All I know is we almost exclusively use FS.com modules. We still have some customers the have a hard requirement for vendor specific but that's now an outlier. Link to comment
