i didn't manage to add eth0 SFP to the lan bridge wih "/R9000/target/linux/alpine/base-files/etc/board.d/02_network"; Fortunately, it also works with uci-defaults/99-custom.

... to build the firmware I use Ubuntu 22.04 (on Oracle Virtual Box 7.0.10); it's fast and easy to setup
can you recommend an optical sfp+ single core not multi core as the one you mentioned, so i can connect my isp fiber cable directly to r9000 and bypass their supplied ont

In the last build the HTTPS support (LUCI-SSL) was missing. This build fix this security issue.
If the router is used in public, it should only be configured with SSH or web HTTPS.
Converting to DSA with dual switches ... could fix the problem
Has anyone found a way how to do the DSA configuration for the R9000 switches. Unfortunately I haven't gotten any further. The port configuration would then work much better and easier...
Any idea what could cause the high amount of retries spikes?
I had it on my iperf test aswell a while ago when testing the SPF+ port. (although a lot more)
id be willing to bet its a 2.5gb driver issue. I know for mine I had to install the latest driver from the manufacturer to get proper speeds. The default driver installed by windows worked for crap. I never got more than about what he got in his tests. Mine would also only go to about 1.3gb/sec. After i got the newest driver its been fine.
