SFP+ slots do not work at 1GE on GS728TXS
According to its specification the Netgear GS728TXS switch supports optical signals with line rates of 1GE or 10GE on ports xg25..xg28. All works fine for 10GE optical signals with SFP+ (single rate 10G and dual rate 1G/10G) on all respective ports, however 1GE signals are not working on any of those ports with SFP+ (dual rate) or SFP for 1GE . Link stays down. Seems the switch completely ignores the 1GE and I did not find any information in the HW/SW manuals on how to make that work. It is definitely not a cabling problem. Also the "Switching/Port configuration" menu has no speed selection of 1000M and AUTO obviously does not the job. Plugging in an SFP or SFP+ always shows a speed of "10G Full". The switch uses the latest firmware 6.1.0.36, Ports are configured as "Ethernet" (e.g. non-stacking,). Any guess what I missed and how the switch can be configured to accept 1GE optical signals. Thanks.Solved
