Copper SFP's

[adairw]

Today I received two copper SFP's which are both working fine as far as I can tell in my WS-12-250A. The two models I bought are a NCOM GLC-T and a Long Line GLC-T-LL.

Neither these SFP's or any of the other optics I've tried ever show anything under the "port detail" tab on the status page. All zero's. The main page shows stats for all ports (even the SFP's). Any idea why there is nothing showing up under the port detail button?

Also, I bought two other multi mode optics that I intend to try as well. To date the three different models I've tried never link up with anything other than the WS itself. (per my other threads)

The 'port detail' page works for me, both from copper and fiber sfp's. Off the top of my head I can't think of any issues we've had specifically with the port detail page for at least the last six weeks (and that was a specific piece of information being misreported, not all zeros on the detail page.) There may be something with your specific firmware version, I'm running 1.0.4 on the switches I checked.

While I have tested the copper and fiber SFP's between to work between Wisp Switches, by far the more common setup for me is to have them connected between the Wisp Switch and a Cisco router. I haven't had any issues linking between those two type of devices in some time. (I was involved in the alpha testing, so I remember any number of weird issues.)

I'm not sure what your issue is, but I've had some very weird issues with fiber jumpers lately. It must be my gargantuan fingers or something, but I've had fiber jumpers die on me left and right lately. I had one that was my go-to 'good' jumper that decided to only work when it was connected between two specific devices and not anywhere else (just last week). My experience is that fiber jumpers, even well constructed ones, are fragile and should be treated as potentially bad in all situations. Of course that is just my recent experience.

Running 1.0.5rc2 here.
Here are my port detail and status page with two copper SFP's

I assumed the same thing with the patch cables so I order more.
But if I take the sfp and cable out of the WS and use them between two mikrotik's it works fine.

I sent this to Eric to investigate, hope to get back to you soon

Thanks Chris

OK I just posted v1.0.6rc1 which fixes the port details on the 12 port switches.

Rory is going to look at your VLAN issue first to determine if this is us or you. If Rory determines it is us he will pass it on to Eric.

[adairw]

Sounds good. I will update to the 1.0.6rc1 and let you know how that goes.

In the mean time, do you think it would be a good idea to default the switch to defaults and see if the problem persists?

[adairw]

Just updated, and yep, port details work on both copper SFP's.
However, still not tagged VLAN's. I did verify my cables were plugged in correctly today as well.

[sirhc]

Rory has not had time to review your config to determine if this is our problem or not.

I a sure he will investigate this tomorrow.

As far as I know we have fixed everyone else's VLAN issues.

[Rory]

adairw, could you post up your current port config and vlan config? Also, whatever snippit of config is appropriate for the device this wisp switch is pluggeg in to? Obviously no real IP addresses or whatnot.

I will review the config / mock it up in my lab and see what I can determine. As always, I am open to the possibility of bugs but we need to be able to reproduce them to fix them.

Thanks, and I will do my best to get to the bottom of this today.
