I saw some of the switch has SFP port, can I use internet fibre cable with SFP module on the switch to get internet access?
Can I connect internet fibre direct to a switch?

I don't know anything about networking stuff.

QUOTE(soul_gamerz @ Feb 5 2022, 10:47 AM) No you can't. You still need router for dialing back to the ISP. From router to switch is easy. just plug 1 LAN cable from one of the LAN port to the switch and you're good to go I still need a router for PPPoE? After setup i no longer need those ont/onu device? |

QUOTE(PRSXFENG @ Feb 5 2022, 06:56 PM) Hmm.. Long article, I need time to read it. QUOTE(Gaara92 @ Feb 5 2022, 06:59 PM) You will need the ONU because the device is used to convert optical signals to eletrical signals. Else you will need an SFP GPON (basically a small form factor ONU) that can be put directly in an SFP cage. Are these all SFP GPON components? Does the price affect its performance?Also you will need a router to dial PPPoE, however the router here is optional. You can dial directly from the ONU/SFP GPON if it has a dialing function or you can dial directly from your PC, however only you yourself can use the internet. ![]() Is it enough to just enter the PPPoE credential? Or do I have to setup vlan 500 for TM internet fibre? QUOTE(Anime4000 @ Feb 6 2022, 12:34 AM) Need to check if that SFP + RJ switch has VLAN aware I would like to ask if you can recommend me the smart managed switch and ONU stick with high CP value to setup such things?Also, you need SFP ONU Stick (miniature ONT) Some SFP ONU works with TM-Unifi, TM-Maxis. Some are not... due to LAN Port Provisioning I really don't have a clue to buy a switch. Those future proof device can cost thousand. |

QUOTE(Anime4000 @ Feb 6 2022, 10:20 PM) Dogs1985 Sorry, it took a lot of time to digest your article. it's hard to find compatible SFP xPON ONU Stick with Unifi. TM using very complex Provisioning that SFP Stick not understand and cannot bridged There are 2 type: [attachmentid=11087994] [attachmentid=11088018] [attachmentid=11087995] [attachmentid=11087996] Type A: 1. Native Fiber ISP such as TM-Unifi/Allo/TIME (ISP own network) 2. Provisioning Method: Bridge or LAN 1 Type B: 1. ISP on Fiber wholesale such as TM-Maxis, TM-Celcom, TM-DiGi, TM-Viewqwest, Allo-Maxis, Allo-DiGi, etc... 2. Provisioning Method: LAN 2, LAN 3, LAN 4, non-bridge SFP xPON ONU Stick Type A: 1. ODI DFP-34X-2C2 (ZTE SoC, Stock Firmware) thankyou confirmed work with TM-Unifi 2. ODI DFP-34X-2C2 (Realtek RTL9601C1 Soc, Realtek Stock Firmware) 3. TWC TWCGPON657 (Realtek RTL9601C1 Soc, C00R657V00Bxx Firmware) 4. VSOL V2801F (Realtek RTL9601C1 Soc, V2801F Firmware) SFP xPON ONU Stick Type B (Universal): 3. TWC TWCGPON657 (Realtek RTL9601C1 Soc, V2801F Firmware) 4. VSOL V2801F (Realtek RTL9601C1 Soc, V2801F Firmware) As you can see, only V2801F firmware work on any kind of fiber network, V2801F can override many OMCI Provisioning also can send FAKE OK to OLT, telling that provisioning was success Many SFP xPON ONU Stick are Type A, since stick only have 1 physical LAN, thus LAN 1 provisioning work just fine. Also, when you using SFP xPON ONU Stick you can set MTU Size to 2000 bytes, set LAN and VLAN to 1508 MTU, and finally PPPoE 1500 MTU because GPON has fixed MTU Size which is 2000 bytes, use it to reduce fragmentation, Maxis Fiber support PPPoE 1500MTU, I have tested it using RB3011UiAS ODI DFP-34X-2C2 (Realtek): https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000086970977.html TWC TWCGPON657 (Realtek): https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09....id=597031866488 VSOL V2801F (Realtek): https://www.ebay.com/itm/274895161296 or https://www.ebay.com/itm/164272857050 Personally, I use VSOL V2801F and TWCGPON657, currently I use TWCGPON657 with V2801F firmware nas0 is ATM Interface: https://home.regit.org/technical-articles/atm-bridging/ There are many "term" are not very clear, like xPON, GPON, EPON, PON, nas0_0, Bridge, ATM, OLT, ONU, I will try to learn online. Kindness will never be wasted. Even if these SFP modulers are used, I still need to log in to moduler console page to configure? Hmm.. Nevermind, now I have a clue that these two SFP moduler can be used in all fibre optic companies in Malaysia. I will do some research on these moduler. Thank you very much. |

QUOTE(petpenyubobo @ Feb 7 2022, 11:04 PM) Fibre optic is just a medium of transfer which could do long distance with minimal attenuation compared to copper medium, the protocol standard is Ethernet for example. Actually at first, I just looked at normal switch. I started to explore and found that there are two type of switch, unmanaged and smart managed.If you have the cash and have special agreement with the ISP fibre optic can make it seems like you're directly at the datacentre hooking up a switch to one of their 100G enterprise routers switch ports. Many years before copper couldn't realise this but with modern day fibre combined with Ethernet standards this became a dream come true thing. We call this direct point to point active Ethernet using fibre optic medium instead of LAN cable where you can only hook up a short distance copper length from your computer to your home switch. Fibre optic allows distance of upto 10-20km depending on laser class. So what you need is a router switch with a port that receives fibre media convertor modules/sticks that is called cages. Get a router/switch with a SFP+ cage. It'll at least future proof it to 10Gbps. In Malaysia we do not have successful active P2P Ethernet for home consumers yet as initial build out costs is too expensive and you need to have 2 pairs to serve pure duplex mode for real symmetrical speeds to your customers. For corporations and big time companies which colocations and hook their company network directly to Metro Ethernet that's an entire different story. What do you intend to do? After research for a while, I found that some of the switch have PoE/PoE+(Do I need it?), then VLAN, then SFP/SFP+, then L2/L2+/L3.. I wonder if it is possible to link with TM-Unifi using SFP slot, so no need for onu/ont device anymore. That's why I post in forum and ask. QUOTE(Anime4000 @ Feb 8 2022, 04:47 PM) xPON is similar acronym xDSL, is a "family" of networking. Ya, I found out that xPON refer to universal adapter.The "x" usual refer to multiple thing, it can be: 1. E PON 2. G PON 3. XG PON (10Gb PON) 4. XGS PON (Symmetrical 10Gb) ATM is Asynchronous Transfer Mode, where Download and Upload speed not same, for GPON speed is like 2.4Gbps Download, 1.2Gbps Upload the "nas0_0" is Network Interface for ATM device Bridge also Network Interface (Virtual), bind 2 different Network Interface Is ATM equal to those ADSL, EPON or GPON? I learned that EPON download/upload speed 1.25Gbps, GPON download speed higher a bit, 2.5Gbps. nas0_0 refer to xPON adapter interface? Haha, I really don't know about network bridge, I will study it later. Kitty_catts liked this post
