I am using S+AO0005 active DAC and connected to Mellanox MCX-312A-XCBT.
When i logined in to WIN10, the 10G port is keeping up and down. I need manually disable and enable the 10G few times, then the port will come up.
Also i tired to connect this active DAC SFP+ from Mellanox 10G card Port1 to Port2, it is no any flapping.
ether11-sfpplus link up (speed 10G, full duplex)
ether11-sfpplus link down
ether11-sfpplus link up (speed 10G, full duplex)
ether11-sfpplus link down
ether11-sfpplus link up (speed 10G, full duplex)
ether11-sfpplus link down
Version is v6.44.2 and already hard code 10G Full duplex.
Is anyone else seeing port flapping on SFP+ port? Thanks.
New release of RouterOS has some fixes related to SFP+ port: 6.45.1
*) rb4011 - fixed MAC address duplication between sfp-sfpplus1 and wlan1 interfaces (wlan1 configuration reset required);
*) sfp - fixed S-35LC20D transceiver DDMI readouts after reboot;
*) tile - improved link fault detection on SFP+ ports;
I am not sure which one fixed the flap problem but my connection on 10G is stable now, no magic needed to stop flapping.
(There were no other changes to the network.)
