Some of you have mentioned getting dirt cheap SFPs. Anyone care to share their sources?

Thanks,

Spend you time an energy to make an RB1200 without TX-Ports and only SFP slots. There is no product with a good price in the market.

Like^2.

That would rock bigtime. It'd be a nice concentrator for fttx connections and campus networks. Any sort of diagnostic or monitoring features would be appreciated whether the RB has 1 or many SFP ports.

I mostly use 1gig bi-di sm 10km modules.
simple 1gig 2-fiber mm modules would be good for linking these together as well or linking them to other mfg's switches.

Like a previous post, I would like to see some other supported SFP's such as 100FX and 1000SX

Bad luck for 100FX (or any other 100Base) at the moment...

FYI the RB2011 DOES NOT support reading of A0h/A2h stats (aka DDMI) as per SFF-8472.

According to Mikrotik this feature may be added to future products.

10Gbit modules in 201LS (RB SFP3903D)
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Supported ... FP_modules

does not support Ad-Net SFP155-WDM1310/10

http://www.ad-net.com.tw/index.php?id=294

Is it possible to add support for this SFP?

Yeah, just like any other 100mbit SFP
I'm desperately hoping for 100mbit support, too.


kr,

the only model that supports the sfp - RB2011 which has poor processor for 1Gbps SFP, and just for the 100Mbps, but 100Mbps SFP does not support them.
strangely

do I have to going back to d-link dir100-fiber, that set my ISP??????

Did anybody manage to make 2011LS with any 100mbps-only SFPs ? We tried several and didn't succeed.

I tested three 100Mbps - none earned, tested two 10/100/1000mbps - is not earned, and the cheapest D-Link DIR100/F works with all this modules.

GBE BX 1550/1310 10KM
GBE BX 1310/1550 10KM

Hi, is possible that MK, will make your propietary solution of GPON? or any compatible solution over GPON tecnologies?, support in RB for OLT (New CCR 1036 maybe ) and use for example RB2011 with modules ONU, the distribution with this tegnologies is more simple and cheap with splitter for FTTX

Javier

LC singlemode bidirectional gigabit 10-60km operating range, with DOM.

Does RB 2011 LS support
SPS-43-GB-P2-CDFB and
SPS-34-GB-P2-EDFM ?

I am testing a pair of bidi SFPs. I get a link and also get traffic across the link (how may or reliable it is, I do not know), but these RB2011LS-INs are at loss as status of a sfp1 interface does always state:
Auto Negotiation: done
Rate: Unknown
Full duplex is unchecked

Some other items:
PoE Out Current: 0mA
Does sfp1 has a PoE support?

Also, [Blink] button in Winbox does not blink [USR] led of the device.

Running ROS v5.19.

it does not support poe-out. that will be fixed

it does not support poe-out. that will be fixed

It is obvious, but what about other named items?

Hi again!

Are there any news regarding support for 100mbit SFPs??

Many of our partners and myself of course are still hoping to get that fixed!!


KR,
uebi

Still no 100mbit SFPs supported ??

What is this setup: sfp-rate-selection=high/low option in "/interface ethernet" menu?

Will RB2011 support 100mbps SFP module in future? Thanks!

Why the cry for a 100mbps SFP when 1gbps ones are so similar in cost?

I've used "wave splitter" and calix 1gig SFPs in the 2011-ls successfully so far. Don't have a ton of different SFPs to play with.

I need to use Multimode 1310nm OC-3 or STM-1 SFP. There are many licensed radios and carriers that use this to deliver last mile.
Does rb2011 work with SONET/SDH? Will it ever some day?

Probably never since RBs are ethernet routers and not TDM equipment.

I'll prefere to use GEPON OLT SFP module. (I'm discussing here http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=66910)

GEPON OLT has expensive price.
Its true, that they have more performance can support more ONUs and may be they can supply more clients but the price is $$$$.
But I don't need 500 - 3000 clients on OLT.
I need 50-150 clients per OLT and maximum bandwidth can reach not more than 100Mbit.
I think we can do this with RB2011LS-IN. I have read AR8327 RB2011LS-IN switch chip datasheet and find that it supports PON

The remaining 2 ports feature a standard GMII/RGMII/MII/Serdes interface to
allow connection to a host CPU in PON/xDSL/Cable/Wifi/Fiber routers.

http://www.qca.qualcomm.com/media/produ ... _file1.pdf

So as I understand it needs software support?

I`ve tested CTC Union SFS-5020-W() SFP with RB2011 but no success. The link is up after disabled auto-negotiation and speed 100. But can not receive packets.
Please add feature to support for 100M SFP module.

I have tested SFP Module "Level 1" Model GVT-0300 Hardware Version 3.0 between two 2011LS-IN and works OK, please add this Module in wiki.

Deleted because not related.

Any update on 100Mb BiDi SFP?

Deleted because not related.

Even the same game,

all are crying and begging for anything new, then MikroTik is doing do, and after the launch the whole
crowed turns around and is crying for another feature, option and\or functions!
The same procedure as every year.

- At first crying to get SFP ports and support
- Then crying why no 100 MBit\s
- After this crying for 10 GBit\s support but no ones want to pay for the switch fabric inside that must be soldered in
- If this was done by MikroTik, all are crying for 10 GBit\s Ethernet Ports copper based and GEO stacking support.
Like the lemmings, one is turning left and the whole crowed is following into the deep abyss.

Of course. That`s the human life. If you stop to crying for something, your life will stop, that`s end of your life. We, customers always want more and more. It drives Mikrotik to be more strong and valuable vendor. Btw, our company deployed very large network using some kind of 155mbps SFP. So we can not just change all our node equipment once. So we still need to continue using 155mbps SFP until node equipment upgraded to 1.25Gbps.

Deleted because not related.

At last I think really it is not so easy to fit all the needs and serve all the wishes from all customers, but I think also they are on the road and do a fine job, to come nearly to this state.

Yes, I`m agree with you. Therefor I`m trying to vote for 100mb SFP. But of course final decision will be done by MT guys. They do not make features, what I posted once. I`m trying to increase vote on this feature request. An other hand, it`s very good thing for MT that people always post feature requests. People still want to use MT for wide area in their network. They want to done their demands by MT products. Your case, your life is different from me. You don`t need some features, but maybe I don`t need features, what you want. So please don`t disclaim other`s wishes or don`t try to place your wish before other`s . But I`m agree with you that future OS, future routers will be supported more features and it`s not easy to develop features, such as mine.

Deleted because not related.

So please accept that I don´t want to blame, kidding, to bother or what ever else you, this was more a try out to
explaining why their is no 100 MBit/s SFP support and not that this is not needed!
I am more afraid of having 10 GBit/s support, because this equipment should not so cheap to build and is perhaps more wished and then not bought, like the 100 MBit/s. Not that you thing I am not able to use it

Hi Dobby, I don`t think your posts are rude. . When I was posting previous posts, I had nice face with smile. So don`t worry, it`s ok. Finally we all love to be customer of Mikrotik.

Any updates on this? There's still no 100FX SFP in the wiki and our hardware is a couple of days away to test it ourselves.

My idea is to use 2011UAS-RMs as CPE (we only work with business clients where racks are commonly in use) to replace the managed media converters we're using now. Our carrier only supports 100FX FDDB for clients because of hardware specification / limitation of their Keymile products. So switching to 1000FX on the clients' side is not an option right now.

Will SW260 support 100mbps SFP module in future?

Which SFP module features would be most important for you?

This SFP works with rb2011LS ?

No, it's the specs of SFPs / SFP features that are most important for us, just like the quote I did states

Currently there seems to be no way to get 155Mbps SFPs to work an any MT device. The link may go up, but you never get a connection established.

And there also is no roadmap, no statement here in the forum or any answer to tickets regarding this issue stating if or not MT is intending to support 100FX in future releases of ROS (if it's a matter oft drivers / software) and / or in future hardware products. I'd at least expect them to be able to make up their minds on this and make a statement instead of ducking away and leaving every customer in the dark.

Hi Guys, I want to use MT router as PON (GEPON/GPON/EPON) ONU. Maybe it`s not related to MT. Some of vendors have SFP for ONU. Is it possible to use PON SFP with routerboard (or any other 3rd party SFP capable routers)?

Yes, Im eager to know this as well.

Will RB2011UAS work with third party GPON stick such as Finisar? Has anybody made a test on this? Please share it if you have tested.

Thanks in advance

will operate 1.25gb sfp module on speed 100mbit in rb260gs?

Hi,

I'd like to report that I successfully tested Finisar FTLF8524P2BNV with Gigabit Ethernet on RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN.

http://www.finisar.com/sites/default/fi ... 20RevJ.pdf

It can be added to http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Supported_Hardware

Normis, we have had a few inquiries into whether MikroTik will develop any QSFP+ 40G SFP modules. Whether or not the unit can sustain the transfer, a growing number of DataCenters are looking to deploy as Top Of Rack solutions.

However, many are going with newer BladeCenter chassis that they wish to utilize the QSFP+ modules for growth capabilities.

Just a question.

That's really interesting. Can the RB2011UiAS handle the 4.25Gbps transfer rate or is it still restricted to 1Gbps ?

From what I understand, it's 1.25Gbps max in Ethernet mode, 4.25Gbps is Fiber Channel.

Regarding my test, I was only able to test against a single host to host iperf, one host connected to the sfp and the other connected to a 1000Base-T port. I got an effective 600 Mbps.

I'll try to redo tests someday and let you know.

I am testing a pair of bidi SFPs. I get a link and also get traffic across the link (how may or reliable it is, I do not know), but these RB2011LS-INs are at loss as status of a sfp1 interface does always state:

Some other items:

Does sfp1 has a PoE support?

Also, [Blink] button in Winbox does not blink [USR] led of the device.

Please tell me about which sfp module did you use? I need it deperately.
