Newbie question - is the 6100 directly compatible with this fiber connection?
-
Hi,
I bought a TP-Link-MC220L-Converter... it works.
So, this is not a misconfiguration in PPPoE settings or VLAN ISP-specific tags.I would like to remove the TP-Link-MC220L-Converter from my setup. But, my current issue is the SFP doesn't seem to success in beeing an active carrieer at hardware level. I am betting on a driver issue.
I have an embedded and linux expertise. And, I know SFP can be a really mess of things. Could you, @stephenw10 or your team, support me with the 6100 netgate and the GPON ONT SFP Class I Laser G-010S-A MREV: 02 ICS: 01? Have you anything in mind that will helps us to investigate?
@nikolaosinlight, I don't known anything about the "myth" of hardware filtering. From now, I can't said anything. Maybe, the technician threw the defective SFP to the trash because the module is not working in "RX". From my reading only the IPTV is mac filtered to limite number of dhcp lease. By any chances, if you have a picture of your SFP, I would like to know the MREV written on it.
Best regards,

So that was using the same GPON SFP module just in the media converter instead of the 6100 SFP port directly?
Do you see link LEDs on it when the fibre is connected? Do you see those when it's in the 6100?
You might try it in one the the combo ports (ix3, ix2) since those are fixed 1G.
Unfortunately we can't offer much support on this as we have no way of knowing if that can be made to work. Officially gpon modules are not supported.
