SX3008F switch transmits with TP-link 1000mbit SFP+, NOT with 10G SFP+?
Hi, guys.
Hardware:
All TP-link gear.
Router ER7412-M2 v1.0, factory reset, no VLANs. 1.0.1 Build 20240719 Rel.56423 - the newest.
Switch has newest firmware, fiber switch.
Router and switch connected by the 2.5G port.
The switch sends via SFP adapter #1 by a long, LC, single-mode fiber-cable to another building, to SFP adapter #2 10G TP-link single-mode SFP adapter (Omada 10GBase-LR SFP+ LC Transceiver, Model SM5110-LR(UN). ) into a 10G Multi-Gigabit SFP Media Converter (MC420L)
Problem
I can't get my switch to signal green for 10G connection, with only 10G gear connected.
It will signal ORANGE, however, when the fibre switch has a 1000Mps SFP installed. Even if 10G gear is still connected to clients.
When the SFP adapter #1 is the same as adapter #2 (both SM5110-LR) - no lights on the switch, and no internet connection.
When the SFP adapter #1 is SM311LS 1000Base-LX SMF Mini-GBiC Module - the switch lights up orange, there is internet connection, and OC200 Omada Controller says the speed is 1000 Mps
When both SFP adapters are SM311LS - it also works.
In the Omada Controller GUI -
Under ports/profile overrides, I have: Switching, 802.1x Auto, Link Speed Manual, and 10Gps/Full Duplex chosen.
When all gear connected is 10G supporting equipment, how come there is no internet connection, only when the switch has inserted 1000Mps SFPs?
I am killing myself with this. This is my 3rd batch of SFPs. I have upgraded Firmware, only to get stuck during update and having to manually fix it. I have had to reset switch by serial. And everything seems back to normal after having pulled all my hair out, except the switch doesn't provide 10G. Which was the entire point in buying 10G equipment, SFP adapters, MCL 420 etc.
If you know anything, I'd most appreciate help.
Hi @Winterwhite
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
? I don't understand the question.
If you have an ER7412-M2 which is 2.5Gbp, that can only get you 2.5Gb.
It would not link a 10G fiber switch in this context. Of course, it falls back to 1Gbps.
And this switch only supports either 1 or 10G.
Note that forcing the port to 10G while the other port does not support 10, that'll cause a disconnection.
