It will be another load of fun if we ever decide that we actually want direct communication. Because unless something changed, recommendation for default router config (home devices and such) was to block new incoming connections from internet. So you will have devices all with public addresses, bu...

A long time ago, there was the sound of perfecting ipv6 modules in the forum. It has been nearly six or seven years in an instant, and many functions are still lacking. ipv6 nat, policy route, routing mark, and many other functions are completely absent. I tried opnsense, pfsense and vyos, edgeos, ...

6.45.3

*) rb4011 - fixed SFP+ interface linking (introduced in v6.45.2);

Very strange that no official announcement on the Forum and when using Winbox "Check for updates" only 6.45.2 displays.

But my bad luck at this time was not gone. After downgrading both firmware and RouterOS to the previous version my router still refused to obtain the ip-address from the ISP via DHCP. I got in touch with the ISP support and they checked that the switch port my RB is connected to is set properly (ne...

TL;DR: There is a fault with the RB4011 supporting communication with some gigabit or gigabit-like SFPs (see forum comments about interface not working after upgrading firmware). Once resolved, the brochure page should more correctly say 'The RB4011 does not support Passive DAC modules or dumb SFP ...

mozerd

No. An interface is the module that you put into your SFP/SFP+ cage, not the cage itself. The specification of the cage itself is (almost) purely mechanical. And my understanding is that both host software and host hardware must be compatible with the type of transceiver you want to use. It appears...

SFP/SFP+ are Network INTERFACES and these network interfaces should work much like any other network interface. THAT is the whole point . The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) is a compact, hot-pluggable network interface module used for both telecommunication and data communications applications. ....

@Error0x29A, thanK you —— so MikroTik used an ineffective chipset to drive the SFP+ cage .... I will no longer recommend this product and in fact I will discourage others from acquiring/using this POS.

Same thread here .. https://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=140806 The thread you linked to has some similarities BUT it is NOT the same.

While Mikrotik has it's share of problems with proper operation of different SFP modules (even with basic things, such as reading diagnostic values like temperature, Tx & Rx power, ...) I don't think its the problem in hardware implementation of SFP ... SFP interface is well standardized. But then ...

And such "intelligent" SFP modules need some support from router which router might not know how to provide. Due to this GPON by Bell might not work any better on Routerboards when they move to 10Gbps sync rate. Thanks @mkx ...... so what you're saying is that due to MikroTik's SFP[+] implementatio...

You appear to be confusing Active vs. Passive optical networks with Active vs. Passive SFP+ modules: All optical SFP[+] modules themselves are active as they contain electronics to convert between optical and electrical signals.

So David, are you saying that in the near future we may be able to connect the RB4011 directly to the incoming fibre line from the street and bypass the ONT?

Something is definitely wrong with your RB4011 ... try one more process of running netinstall-6.45.1 .... this will eliminate any form of corruption in the NAND memory and reinstall ROS -- then proceed with your Copper SFP as WAN link to see if that works -- it should and if it does not then I would...
