MS510TXUP compatibility issue with Mikrotik RB5009UG+S+IN via SFP?
I think that my MS510TXUP is not compatible with MikroTik RB5009UG+S+IN when connected via SFP port. The issue is this: When I connect my RB5009UG+S+IN via any SFP connection cable I have to MS510T...

Please do let me know what I can help. At this moment, my newest discovery is this:
After MikroTik RB4011 upgraded to 7.1.1, the DAC cable connection is also broken. However it is slightly different - the connection is seen as up by both sides, but both sides are only transmitting packets while 100% of receiving packets are with error.
I am sure this is a compatibility issue more on software level, however this only happens with MS510TXUP. I've tried the same on my other switches, M4200 and GC752X, both working totally fine.

I've got an update. I can confirm that the issue mentioned in my yesterday's post is fixed after a few reboot on both side - I don't know which reboot fixed it, but I am sure that at least first reboot on both side did not fix the issue. And after reboot, I've tried to reboot both side a few times however I was not able to recreate the issue.
Generally speaking, I think my conclusion is there's some compatibility issue between MikroTik RouterOS 7 and MS510TXUP.

Hi ccl13
It looks the change comes from upgrading MikroTik RB4011 to 7.1.1.
Becuase you say "I was not able to recreate the issue", I assume the issue can be closed.
Many thanks for your update.

Hi WilsonS ,
No I mean the new observation is not reproducing, the old issue still is there. RB5009 still does not work with MS510TXUP. I just mentioned the issue with RB4011 because this makes me think the issue might be on the RouterOS.

Hi ccl13
After MikroTik RB4011 is upgraded to 7.1.1, it works with MS510TXUP via SFP.
However, after updating the latest 7.0.5/7.1rc5/rc6 on RB5009, RB5009 still has SFP issue with MS510TXUP.
Based on current information, from SFP point of view, it looks RB5009 has some differences from RB4011 . Could you report the situation to MikroTik and ask MikroTik to make RB5009 SFP same as RB4011? Thanks
Meanwhile, I will also study it.
