Hi ranpha,
Normally in the GPON ONU SFP is not required to enable “IGMP snooping” because their works as a full bridge L2 device, not work as router mode where you need to enable that feature, apart from the SFP only have one GE and that will be the only interface that will handle multicast traffic all the time.
Kindest Regards.
Hi sotirone we have several customers using our GPON ONU SFP with pfSense but with other pcie cards like CHELSIO COMMUNICATIONS 110-1120-40 10GBASE-X and some others use the BCM57810S NIC models doing some modifications on the card and in the software to enable the compatibility with SFP transceivers from 3rd party brands, not only HP or Dell. on internet you could find more details about that.
we not tested yet none of that cards by ourselves.
NOTE: We no promote any non-certified modifications and take no responsibility for any damages caused by this kind of modifications in a working hardware. all of that is under your on risk and responsibility.
if you are interested on acquire a GPON ONU SFP unit, please send to us an email, we are glad to attend you.
Kindest Regards.
I have some news.
Carlitoxxpro connects O5, but CCR 2004 don’t register it correctly.
I built a bridge with a Dell N20KJ dual SFP+, on a linux box, patched the linux kernel module, the other side of the bridge connected to the WAN port of the CCR2004 and the carlitoxxpro stick connects.
But, it’s not 2.5 Gbps enabled, as far as I know.
If it could, it would.
Carlitoxxpro, if you have any telnet trick to enable 2.5Gbps synchro, you win.
Hi Gnubyte
as may you already know the GPON ONU SFP transceivers only have 1GE (Physically) and only are capable to negotiated data-rates up to 1Gbps (1.25 theoretically) on the Ethernet side (LAN) even if they are capable to work up to 2.5Gbps (for downstream) on the optical side (PON) as described on the GPON Standards.
In the traditional ONUs (ONT or HGU) is possible to take the advantage of the 2.5Gbps data-rates (downstream speeds) because they have multiple GE interfaces (Physically) but even in this case, each Ethernet is only capable to work at 1Gbps.
Now, in the XG-PON, XGS-PON and NG-PON2 technologies are being designed transceivers over SFP+ interfaces to makes capable to work with Multi-GE interfaces on the Ethernet side also.
So, there not exist “magic tricks” to change that, I’ve recommend you to take a look at the standard definitions (IEEE 802.3ab - 1000Base-T) and (IEEE 802.3ae - 10GBase-xx) to understand better how it works.
Kindest regards.
Hi CarlitoxxPro,
Your ONU SFP is functional. It does what it was proposed for, inserting itself into an SFP or SFP + interface and directly connecting the physical link by optical fiber, by registering itself in a GPON tree. Within this perimeter, it is functional, 100% useful. It does what I bought it for. As such, it remains in my collection of ONU SFP (because I have, in fact, some)
But, and this is not your responsibility, it is not recognized by the Mikrotik CCR2004. This is sad. Whether we raise the question of activation at 2.5Gbps according to HGSMII, the question does not seem to arise with your ONU because, beyond the desire to activate it at 2.5Gpbs, the Mikrotik CCR2004 does not even recognize it . No doubt this is related to the reasons you cited in your feature request for which I voted for.
So, strictly from a business point of view, I am a happy customer. However, I cannot insert it into my Mikrotik equipment.
I do not hide that my main quest, to connect my fiber link directly without operator equipment, is linked to my desire to have the second Gbps that I pay to Orange France, but that the equipment does not allow me to use.
To achieve my goals, I needed to connect my fiber to an SFP interface, and your CarlitoxxPro does it, but not on my CCR2004.
If I have not been able to directly connect the CarlitoxxPro to my CCR 2204, which, I repeat, only understands 1 or 10Gbps, I installed, in a small low power server, a Dell N20KJ chipset card BCM57810S, dual SFP +, and I configured a bridge between the two. My fiber therefore arrives in my CarlitoxxPro, bridged to a 10Gbps SFP Single-mode Fiber interface, and this 10Gbps link is routed in my CCR2004 which takes care of the particular authentication of Orange France from my home (question of DHCP requests in COS = 6).
This is the reason why I affirm that my CarlitoxxPro module is functional, with PLOAM filled in and SN changed.
It is probably up to Mikrotik to include the right Linux kernel module patches to directly integrate the possibility of inserting the CarlitoxxPro directly. Unfortunately, there is no possible activation of 2,5Gbps by HSGMII on CCR 2004, according to the feedback I received from support after my bug report on the beta version which crashed by checking the 2.5Gbps box (yet present), for reasons described as material at this time.
With the 10Gbps bridge that I put in place, I broke away from the Linux kernel module types of CCR, to use a much more up-to-date 5.8 kernel on the bridge, and provide CCR 2004 with what it gladly accepts, a flow in a 10Gbps fiber optic link.
Now, thanks to this bridge, I can certify that the CarlitoxxPro works, and since it is only one of my almost eclectic collection, I have others that work. I don’t have any at 2.5Gbps yet, as they are rare, but since some are known to be compatible, I won’t be long. I will then only have to configure them on my workstation, which is also equipped with a BCM57810S card, then place them on the bridge, to achieve my goals. And the day the XGsPON fiber is deployed, I would only have to change the ONU.
What is the difference between G-010S-P and G-010S-A? Their specs seem identical so the G-010S-A should be compatible with the firmware the G-010S-P is compatible, no?
Also, what about the Nokia G-010S-B? Does anyone have any idea if it can be flashed with CarlitoXXPro’s firmware? Maybe BackON can provide some more info on the G-010S-B?
Edit: Also, can somebody provide me with the CarlitoXXPro SFP manual? I want to have a look at what settings are available to see if it is compatible with my weird EPON ISP.
G-010S-P - older hardware design
G-010S-A - current Nokia GPON 1310nm/1490nm module
G-010S-B - GPON module with 1588v2 & SyncE support (use case: mobile networks backhaul)
Keep in mind that two modules were/are available in Carllitos’s offer
original based on Lantiq 98035 and v2.0 based on Realtek RTL9601C/RTL8672
(Hi JeanPierre)
If anybody have any spare, I’m buyer of a lantiq based Carlitoxxpro v1 or an Alcatel-Lucent G-010S-P.
Sotirone, PM me for the manual.
JeanPierre, do you have expérience about O-010S-P ?
So can the G-010S-B be used for FTTH GPON/EPON or is it using different standards?
Not personally, very little info about this Broadcom GPON module
https://rsaxvc.net/blog/2020/8/21/Alcatel_Lucent_O-010S-P_GPON_Teardown.html
Not by an ordinary user. It is intended for mobile network operators. It requires a specialized router, an accurate clock source and the documentation from the vendor.
hi, @JeanPierre
How to change LOID and LOId password for G-010S-A or 010S-P?
Thanks
In Canada and most of Europe the serial number is the basic method of authentication. LOID is more popular in Asia.
The firmware we have may not have LOID enabled. Check your variables: ONTUSER@SFP:~# fw_printenv to see if you have something that resembles a LOID
DFP-34G-2C2, HL23446, D23446, V2801F, BD-1234-SFM modules are a much better choice if you are looking for LOID support.
Nokia or Alcatel-Lucent are known for adding proprietary extensions to the OMCI stack. They do not use the OMCI daemon that comes with the SDK, instead they rely on their own All-in-One OMCI_MGR_Bin.
If you really want to use G-010S-P or G-010S-A remember that this can cause problems in obtaining an IP address if OLT is not Nokia or Alcatel. One of the users had to modify the startup script to work with OLT from another manufacturer.

Always back up your mtd partitions before modifying SFP scripts!
For G-010S-A to allow future recovery access

Hi JeanPierre,
Your personal preferences dont let people leave you any MP. Of course you should know that.
Could you post whatever firmware backups you have? This would be useful, mainly for interface models that are no longer manufactured.
Many thanks for your advices.
Sorry Gnubyte but I was receiving so much spam. Had to disable MP. I don’t many backups. Let me check and I let you know in couple days(busy at work)
Dear JeanPiere,
G-010S-A has the same firmware with G-010S-P or SOURCEPHOTONICS_SPS3424THPTDFO ?
and I see 2 command line (Related to LOID and LOID password):
fw_setenv omci_loid xxxxxxxxxxxxx
fw_setenv omci_lpwd xxxxxxxxxxxx
can be used in the ssh of G-010S-A but command (uci commit) cann’t use, I don’t know why.
is it any different than when using with fw_setenv omci and uci set?
Thanks for help.
Hello, has anyone played around with U-Fiber Instant? I need it for EPON but from what I can see it does not support it. Has anyone tried to flash it with other firmware? What firmware could it be flashed with?
Thanks Mett for sharing your experiance!
Do you might know if the CarlitoxxPro SFP Module supports 2,5Gbps (HSGMII Mode) in any combination with any Mikrotik router or switch?
As it is said Deutsche Telekom provisioning 1100 Mbits/s in the 1G plan, it might be worth a try push the line to it’s limits and remove the 1G LAN (940mbps) “bottleneck” from the external ONT.
I’ve currently the previous ONT from Telekom (Huawei 8010u), but I expect the process of cloning the S/N to the SFP would be very similar.
The GPON ONU SFP works in SGMII mode, and only have 1GE (1.25gbps),
Also Mikrotik doesn’t support SFP at 2.5Gbps in their routers/switches by the moment. even if you connect into the SFP+ ports an SFP transceiver.
