RB760iGS (hEX S) SFP working?

I'm using one of these with a VDSL SFP. Does anyone know if the SFP port works with OpenWrt? I want to move away from routerOS because it has awful bufferbloat and no support for Cake.

If OpenWrt can't work with the VDSL SFP I will have to use the beta RouterOS which I don't really want to do.

Can confirm the SFP slot works on master (not sure about 21.02: master ramips had a hack fix for this recently) with fibre transceiver. Some time ago (~year) the SFP slot worked with 1000BASE-T copper module and DAC. Have not tried these since.
There was recently a problem with PPPoE. I think it was to do with flow offload, and do not know if it is fixed.
RouterBOOT v7 does not load OpenWrt from flash. If you have upgraded, netinstall ROSv6, then upgrade (downgrade) RouterBOOT from ROS.
Cheers

If it works with 1000BASE-T it should work with the Proscend 180-T VDSL SFP. I have IPoE internet so don't need to worry about PPPoE thankfully.

I think I will hold off until 21.02 is the current stable series because I don't want to annoy wifey with flakey Internet :laughing:

@simplexion , 21.02.0 has been released. If you (or anybody else) are going to install on this device, could I please ask a favor? After the first boot, could you please post /etc/config/network?

After that, could you please flash the freifunk firmware which I am co-developing? Make sure to use sysupgrade with the -n option (don't keep settings). Again, I am interested in the contents of /etc/config/network.

The link to the freifunk firmware is https://firmware.berlin.freifunk.net/unstable/1.2.0-snapshot/notunnel/ramips/mt7621/

Small tip, the default IP address with the freifunk firmware is 192.168.42.1 or hostname frei.funk

Hi, sorry if the link has not been working. We are having issues with our buildbot and only by manual intervention is anything working. :confused:

for some reason I cannot manage to receive DHCP (external address) from my ISP after booting with openwrt (with routerOS it works fine) anything on dmesg that can help me figure out why?:

  • What is your OpenWrt /etc/config/network? Replace the private bits with placeholders.
  • logread will have some extra information

From your dmesg, can tell that only lan3 is connected, as it is the only port that ends Link is Up / entered forwarding state.
An SFP module should be shown when detected, like this:

[   47.617566] sfp sfp1: Host maximum power 1.0W
[   48.403726] sfp sfp1: module FS               SFP1G-LX-31      rev A0   sn G1807xxxxx      dc 180819  
  1. for build branch:
DISTRIB_ID='OpenWrt'
DISTRIB_RELEASE='SNAPSHOT'
DISTRIB_REVISION='r17769-333f93333e'
DISTRIB_TARGET='ramips/mt7621'
DISTRIB_ARCH='mipsel_24kc'
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION='OpenWrt SNAPSHOT r17769-333f93333e'
DISTRIB_TAINTS=''

(I tried stable 21.02 too)

  1. If you are talking about the connection from the ISP the answer is DHCP and from the sfp (sfp1)

  2. cat /etc/config/network:

config interface 'loopback'
	option device 'lo'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
	option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config globals 'globals'
	option packet_steering '1'
	option ula_prefix 'xxxxx::/48'

config device
	option name 'br-lan'
	option type 'bridge'
	list ports 'lan2'
	list ports 'lan3'
	list ports 'lan4'
	list ports 'lan5'

config device
	option name 'lan2'
	option macaddr 'xxxxxxxxx'

config device
	option name 'lan3'
	option macaddr 'xxxxxxxxx'

config device
	option name 'lan4'
	option macaddr 'xxxxxxxxx'

config device
	option name 'lan5'
	option macaddr 'xxxxxxxxx'

config interface 'lan'
	option device 'br-lan'
	option proto 'static'
	option ipaddr '192.168.1.1'
	option netmask '255.255.255.0'
	option ip6assign '60'

config device
	option name 'br-wan'
	option type 'bridge'
	list ports 'wan'
	list ports 'sfp'

config device
	option name 'wan'
	option macaddr 'xxxxxxxxx

config device
	option name 'sfp'
	option macaddr 'xxxxxxxxx'

config interface 'wan'
	option device 'br-wan'
	option proto 'dhcp'

config interface 'wan6'
	option device 'br-wan'
	option proto 'dhcpv6

it seems like the SFP is not detected at all, since the same sfp-related information in dmesg will appear even when the sfp slot is empty.

edit: I read your patch here. it looks like I need ethtool too which is not provided by the snapshot. I'll recompile with the diffconfig you provided and let you know.

update: after recompiling by myself the sfp was detected without any problem. I think that the autobuilds may be missing something.

Great that you got it working.

I can explain your problem if you were using the initramfs image? If this was the installed squashfs image, let me know and I will dig into why.

I remember now (sorry) that when using the buildbot settings (this is what the official images are compiled with) the initramfs images does not use DEVICE_PACKAGES, whereas a single profile does. For hEX S this means the bits needed to make SFP work get left out of the official initramfs image..

Build bot config:

CONFIG_TARGET_MULTI_PROFILE=y
CONFIG_TARGET_PER_DEVICE_ROOTFS=y
CONFIG_TARGET_ALL_PROFILES=y

vs. single 760igs profile:

CONFIG_TARGET_ramips_mt7621_DEVICE_mikrotik_routerboard-760igs=y

Cheers

the problem was indeed in the buildbot initramfs image.

Thank you for the explanation, it did clarify a lot.
I did not try to use the buildbot's squashfs image but flashed my own squashfs compiled version, and the sfp still works.

I have a sfp 180t vdsl2, could you post your wan and lan change ... indeed the original port 1 is wan and it must change to lan, and the new wan will be the sfp, but I can not make this change
By default in Luci I have 3 interface : br-lan p2,p3,P4,p5,p6,p7,p8.
WAN P1 and WAN6 P1... if I replace WAN P1 by WAN SFP and ditto for WAN6... it doesn't change anything…

I installed the ethtool package and it doesn't recognize it, then I deleted and installed ethtool-full... it doesn't recognize it either... what am I missing?

What exactly is your problem? Does the vdsl sfp get recognized?
Did you use prebuilt image or you compiled by yourself?

I am trying to get the sfp recognized ... and this is a prebuild image

The sfp works with this RB microtik router but not with OpenWrt image, I guess there are missing packages or configuration instructions ???

You'll have to compile an image by youself due to some prebuilt images limitations that @johnth mentioned before.

Plus make sure that you dont need other stuff for the vdsl sfp.

I understand, what would be the package to add to the complication of this new image?

Hi !

Thanks Openwrt community for all work done. It's amazing !

I got a hexS on 22.03.0-rc4

i got bad perf with SFP and messages like this :

sfp module is :

Do someone have a hint to help me digging ?

Thanks :wink:

I have been using a proscent 180-t vdsl SFP module for ages on 21.02.x on my hEX S, the only thing that I needed to do to make it work was disable autonegotiation using ethtool:

ethtool -s sfp speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off

However I upgraded to 22.03 and it no longer works. pppoe just continually times out waiting for PADO, presumably the traffic is not passing to the SFP. I reverted to 21.02 again and immediately it started working. Any ideas?

I don't know if it can help you, but I had the same problem, I deactivated ipv6 in device pppoe-wan, also on br-lan...

Thanks,
That didn't make a difference for me unfortunately. I have now logged an issue:

Looks like SFP doesn't work properly on Openwrt's firmware?
