SFP Tranceiver for 1000BASE-BX10
So I recently tried some of my many SFP-BiDi Modules (BX10) but they either are rejected straight away or no link up is happening on them (physical works, but nothing else). I tired a Ubiquiti tr...

To my knowledge, Netgear does not intentionally reject SFP modules in this switch class as there is no spec limitation. Appears there were some other GC110/GC110P customers which found industry standard compliant modules (from wally brain variants for 1G copper Ethernet) not workable in these switches, too.
FWIW we're operating various original Cisco SMF modules (with Cisco brand and model ID in Flash) in GC110P and similar GC and other SmartManaged Pro Netgear switches.

I have also tried 2 different Netgear Modules and the switch does not with with them either... There seems to be a serious issue with the firmware.
Will try the firmware rollback later... But that is obviously not a real solution.

The GC110P's at my customers site with a single original Cisco OEM branded SFP module on port #10 does still serve the fiber link well ongoing with the recent update to 1.0.5.35 on June 9th to some MS510TXUP with 1.0.4.1 for example.
- DooMMasteRAug 02, 2021TutorI can try to bisect the firmware that creates the issue for me.. but since this is mostly a community forum and there is little chance it gets any actual attention and a fix I see little use in it.
I. Now using an earlier firmware and at least it is working...
I do not doubt that there might be modules out there also working with current builds, but I have none of those, so it is of very little use to me.
