SFP+ RJ45
I am running a 110P on a bonded trunk pair from a 728XP. I was hoping to use the 1Gbps SFP ports on each of the switches to do this and keep the PoE ports free. However, neither one of them likes the...
OK, the cheap SFP to RJ45 adapters work if you only use them on one end. The other end must go into a normal RJ45 port. No idea about the official ones, but this is good enough for now. At least I can use all 10 ports on my GC110P.
I guess technically it is a solution. However it is not a practical solution as it is cheaper to buy more switches than buy the official adapters.

Haven't used the two SFP+ ports for the modules on the GC728XP by error? Asking because of the subject "SFP+ RJ45" - SFP+ ports ... and these SFP+ ports don't support any kind of speed negotiation so GbE SFP modules can't work reliably in an SFP+ port.
Sorry about the confusing title. I am trying to use them in the 1G SFP ports. I'm still not getting consistent results so probably best avoided, but it means that the GC110P is really only an 8 port switch for most people.
Ok. Reason asking was that I'm trying to configure a similar set-up - with no-name/FS SFP 1 GbE copper modules in a GC510PP linking to another Netgear switch with SFP ports in a 802.3ad LAG - but all managed within Insight. And similarly struggling on unreliable connectivity results, too.
