I would like to know if you ever got an answer to this or figured out the situation. I’m working on a small FTTH project and would like to use these modules in 2011 series routers. Of course the specs say they work, but I’m concerned now that I see this and no where else on the web does anyone even comment about these GBIC models.
I put a support query in about this in an identical setup in my home lab pre deployment.
The “old” 2011’s don’t support DDM which is how it grabs all that diagnostic information. My lasers were working along the link fine and the info on the CCR was accurate (so if it says the lasers are link ok and working then the link should be up)
I have asked and Mikrotik agreed that this should be made more clear on future ROS versions and hopefully the details screen will show you only if the system can get the info.
The “new” 2011’s should have DDM support in them so this information should be populated.
