EdgeRouter and Supermicro SFP compatibility problems Issue with connectivity or performance
I'm trying to link my Supermicro Server directly to my EdgeRouter 4 via SFP, but communication isn't working. I'm using a Supermicro AOC-STGN-I2S dual 10 Gbit SFP+ card, which is listed for my motherboard, and a Ubiquiti UACC-DAC-SFP10-1M cable between the devices, which is also compatible with the EdgeRouter. Please refer to the attached photos for hardware and settings. Your support would be greatly appreciated.
Although the Ubiquiti DAC appears on the ER compatibility list, the ER-4 only supports a single SFP port, restricting it to 1Gbps. This suggests you should be familiar with various EdgeRouters and their compatible SFP/SFP+ speeds. As far as I understand—possibly someone with more knowledge corrects this—I think SFP+ modules typically aren’t meant for SFP ports, though SFP modules can function on SFP+ ports. There could be exceptions using special cables, but those modules usually offer better compatibility. The Mikrotik S+DA0001 is a good example.
Standard optics and particularly DAC/AOC cables operate at a single rate only
