Hi all,
I don't have much experience with BiDi sfp, so I'm asking you guys,
should openbsd ix work with 1G BiDi sfp.
should do, yes.
in case you're not aware, bidi transceivers come in different types, e.g.
your MaxLink ML-S5531-20 transmits at 1550nm and receives at 1310nm, so
must be paired with a transceiver that transmits at 1310nm and receives
at 1550nm (e.g. the MaxLink model is ML-S3155-20) - do you have that?
also, they should normally be used with single-mode fibre (due to how
the bidi optics are coupled into the fibre they *can* also work with
multimode fibre, though if you do that, insertion loss is high so
distance is much more limited, plus it's even more sensitive to bending
than usual in that case).
Hi,
everything is fine regarding transceiver and fiber. I've played with it
for few days with my ISP and that BiDI sfp works on mikrotik
RB5009UG+S+IN and cisco 2960 switch. On aruba 2540 (allow unsupported
transceiver), ibm switch and openbsd ix(4) it won't work.
I've ordered few BiDi sfp from fs.com and maybe my ISP will lend me
MaxLink sfp so I could test them in lab.
Thank you Stuart for information ...
Hi Hrvoje,
Can you try setting NIC to use speed 1G since it is SFP, not 10G SFP+
module.
My experience is that "media: Ethernet autoselect" not always work.
Best regards,
Ivo
