I just realized that I probably can’t get around the Zyxel PM7300 can use internal 10G LAN. However, according to the data sheet, Green’s router can only support 10G, 1G or 100M on the RJ45 port, which would then limit me to 1G. According to the data sheet, the PM7300 can also support 2.5G and 5G. It’s a shame actually…

Hello @Werner

…..

I want to avoid double NAT because of VPN and some services I have running, among other things. Hence the desire for the bridge or, even better, an SFP+ module. What is the reason you would prefer the router cascade?


My networks always start at an Ethernet WAN interface, because the ISP can take care of pure access itself 🙂

In addition, I have never encountered a problem that I couldn’t easily solve within a cascade.

Init7 support told me last week that the Mikrotik would be on the Swisscom list in 3 months. The certification process would have already been successfully completed.

Yes, exactly.

Simply plug in the SFP, configure VLAN 10 or 11 in the firewall or in your own router and you’re good.


If it’s a blue subscription, you’ve forgotten to set DHCP option 60 correctly on your own router, otherwise you won’t get any access at all.

But you’ll definitely find out everything when you actually do it in practice 🙂

Ok then it looks like Swisscom has already activated Mikrotik for XGS-PON. Good news.

Can someone tell me which SFP module you need in Mikrotik for 10Gbps PON? Or where can you get this?

This is true for Swisscom connections. But a nerd who orders such SFP should know that. With third-party providers you are automatically taken to a splash page where you then have to fill out various parameters. If you don’t have an activation code or don’t know your NSN, only the provider can help

@Meier123 Thank you for the info!

I am currently using the Zyxel AX7501-B0 provided by Green as a bridge on the 2.5G port of my Mikrotik RB5009. A CRS-305 is now attached to the SFP+ port of the Mikrotik to provide 10G internally between the router/PC/NAS/server. The 2.5G internet connection is currently completely sufficient for me. But if I ever replace the 5009, I’ll look for your SFP+ module!

Greetings, Rob

@user109 @Merck for the info.
then it would be worth considering ordering the set like from Init and thus replacing the IB.
Would fit my 24 port Mikrotik switch 👍🏻
