How to get SFP module working?

Hi

I tried to get SFP module work in Turris (Turris OS 3.11.23).
I got a suitable SFP module from my ISP provider.

I installed SFP module and fiber cable to Turris but I couldn’t get it working.
The network has been tested with another hardware and it worked.

Can anybody help me! How can I get SFP module working? Here are some pieces from the log

Hello @kobla,

Would it be possible to try Turris OS 5.x version to see if the SFP module will be working there?

There are two ways how to try the Turris OS 5.x

  1. By using re-flash
  2. By using opt-in migration

You will need to switch DTB as it is said in the opt-in migration, as with the older version of u-boot, it is not possible to switch to SFP and metallic in runtime. Also, it would be helpful to know more details about your SFP, like which type it is, model.

3

Just out of curiosity, is there a plan to automatically update u-boots of older devices to allow this in the future? (I am not using an SFP module and currently do not expect to do so anytime soon, so this is just for my information).

4

Yes. It’s planned. Experienced users can already try a new version of u-boot, which we prepared and provided in the NOR update package. We included it in Turris OS 5.2 release already.
It was announced during the Czech conference InstallFest at the beginning of this year, but we didn’t provide a tutorial for that. It will happen later.

Excellent news! You guys keep delivering. I reluctantly entered the crowd-fundig campaign with the fear of over-promise and under-delivery, but the opposite seems true, you take great care in your products and that shows. Best router decision I made in the last decade :wink:

I reflash my router to version 5 but what is root password after reflash? I tried SSH and via the web interface.

I accessed the web interface when I was using Firefox private mode

Should that work now? However, I do not receive an IP address from my service provider (DHCP)

I got information from the ISP that the VLAN should be set to 1110, how do I do this?

10

You need to set the password during the initial setup.
More details:

Follow our documentation here:

11

make a custom software ethernet, named 0.1110 for your WAN i/o?

i have the same issue with AFM0002tim Module

Sometimes takes dhcp but when restarts the router doesnt take the dhcp and i have no internet. if i restart sfp module or unplug sometimes takes the dhcp but needs a lot of reboots. why doesnt take DHCP i dont know. The module works well in a media converter or other router like mikrotilk so its a issues with turris omnia software.

my turris is clean software with latest medkit and with latest uboot version. how can debug the issue¿?
