I'm planning to connect my CCR2116-12G-4S+ directly to a copper/DSL line using a G.fast/VDSL2 SFP module (e.g. Proscend 190-T G.fast SFP) instead of using a separate DSL modem/router in bridge mode.
My question: does the CCR2116-12G-4S+ support 1G/G.fast SFP modules in its SFP+ (10G) cages? I know some MikroTik devices explicitly support 1.25G SFP transceivers in their SFP+ ports (e.g. CRS226-24G-2S+), but I couldn't find confirmation for the CCR2116 specifically.
Has anyone tried a VDSL2/G.fast SFP module in this device? Does it sync properly, and is there anything special to configure (auto-negotiation, forced speed, etc.)?
Hi BartoszP
Thank you!
Currently I have fiber with 25 Gbit/s Up and Download, but I will move and the new apartment has for the next year/s no fiber...
All my HomeLab is pretty much setted up with 10 Gbit/s ports.... at least the new apartment is cheaper
The issue with all VDSL SFP modules in all MikroTik devices is that RouterOS does not support configuration and monitoring of the module.
You would expect similar functions as for a fiber SFP, but there are not. You can plug it in and it can work, but you cannot see the linespeed it trained and you cannot set any parameters that would help the training process.
Because of that, I have settled for an external VDSL moden (ZyXEL VMG4005-B50A)...
That is how I use it. I have an ethernet port with a 192.168.0.0/24 network that allows me access to the modem (the web interface), and on that a VLAN 6 (in my case) with PPPoE on it for the internet connection.
The modem supports MTU 1500 on the PPPoE and it also does priority queue on the uplink based on the priority field in the VLAN tag, which can be set in the router.
I am running V5.15(ABQA.2)C0 firmware, in a higher version I tried there is an issue with the priority queue.
