Netgate 8200 SFP+ Modules

[hispeed]

Dear Netgate 8200 friends

I don't find a lot of information about the SFP Modules and compatibility online.

"In addion, SFP+ devices based on the Intel(R) Ethernet Connection X552 and Intel(R)Ethernet Connection X553 do not support the following features:"

• Speed and duplex auto-negoaotiation
• Wake on LAN
• 1000BASE-T SFP Modules

Below are some general guidelines for compatible SFP/SFP+ modules:

• Intel-branded SFP+ SR/LR Dual Speed (1G/10G) optical modules.
• Intel-branded SFP+ DA twin-ax cables that comply with SFF-8431 v4.1 and SFF-8472
• v10.4 specificaons. Note: Limited to 10G link speed (no 1G support).
• Third party SFP+ DA twin-ax cables that comply with SFF-8431 v4.1 and SFF-8472 v10.4specificaons. Note: Limited to 10G link speed (no 1G support).
• SFP+ AoCs (Acve optical Cables). Note: Limited to 10G link speed (no 1G support).
• Third party SFP+ SR/LR dual speed 1G/10G) opcal modules
• SFP+ active copper cables

Specific known-working modules include:

• Model / Part NumberDescripon
• Finisar FTLF1318P3BTL1000BASE-LX and 1G Fibre Channel (1GFC) 10km Industrial Temperature Gen 3 SFP Optical Transceiver
• Finisar FTLX1471D3BCL10Gb/s 10km Single Mode Datacom SFP+ Transceiver
• Intel FTLX8571D3BCV-IT1G/10G Dual Rate SFP Fiber Optical TransceiverModule
• Finisar FTLX8574D3BCL10GBASE-SR/SW 400m Multimode Datacom SFP+ OpcalTransceiver
• Finisar FTLF8519P3BNL1000BASE-SX and 2G Fibre Channel (2GFC) 500mExtended Temperature SFP Optical Transceiver
  Note: Links at 1G, 2G is not supported

My ISP recommends Flexoptix and Netgate refers most to Finisar which is well known name but doesn't exist anymore.

ISP: https://www.flexoptix.net/de/p-b1696-10-da.html?option875=1

What do you think doesn the Flexoptik also work with the Netgate 8200?

Thank you for any help.

Most devices that are coded as Intel compatible will work. That is a BiDi module though so potentially less likely to work. No way to know 100%.

@stephenw10

Do you have other recommendations? So BiDi is less likely to work? So I need to re-check again I knew there will be a "problem".

[stephenw10]

It's more unusual. It's unlikely anyone has tested it yet. There's a good chance it will just work fine though. Especially if you can use it in either the 1G combo or 10G ports.

hi hispeed

have you found a solution, I am facing the same problem are you at isp init7 ?

Sunday evening ;) and you ask me if I have Fiber7 this is one of the best jokes of this decade! Unfortunately not!
The question is from where are you then we can do a test because i have the hardware at home . I bought a SFP Module, and bought a 8200 Netgate and a Fiber cable and I can't use that stuff at the moment....

@hispeed
I have fiber7 I have an intel x553 with flexoptix 10G SFP+ BIDI LR
10 km, ᵀˣ1330 / ᴿˣ1270 nm, LC-Simplex , but I don't have a link and I've been trying all day to get this working

@zaffi82

Sounds very similar to my one which I have here: P.B1696.10.AD-MSA01 ?
MSA Standard configuration?

[zaffi82]

@hispeed said in Netgate 8200 SFP+ Modules:

P.B1696.10.AD-MSA01

yes exactly P.B1696.10.AD-MSA01 but i have tried everything, msa default or intel config or cisco no matter what, i get no link

[stephenw10]

Is it supposed to link at 10G?

How does the module appear in the ifconfig -vvv output?
