I have the same problem. My sfp modules are working with 1.0.4.16 but not with 1.0.5.27, extremely annoying.

 

After the upgrade the sfp link goes up and down allt the time. It kind of works for a second or two but then the link goes down. Happy for any suggestions on how to fix this!

     I am now on the latest firmware and no change. I was using 3rd party adapters. I took a chance and bought a Netgear brand AGM734 and it is working.  I have ordered a 2nd for the other port.  Not sure why my generics stopped working after the upgrade though.

      Ok, thanks for the info. I'm using ubiquiti UF-RJ45-1G modules. It may then be that they are incompatible with later firmware than .4.16.

        Interesting, we're operating no-name Cisco-ID flashed 1G SFP RJ45 modules - absolutely flawless on 1.0.5.27.
