Unifi switch SFP fiber connections
-
Well now I get to have egg on my face yet again - the cable is fine (though that doesn't explain why it didn't work when I moving a working switch and it's patch cords onto it).
I was able to swap the fibers on the long run side (each fiber was it's own connector). Upon doing so, the link came up instantly.
Now I'm going to put my original SFPs back in place and see if those work.
On a side note - it was cool seeing STP kick in and kill (block) the wired connection I have in place once the faster connection to the same network came online.

And the verdict is in. The main line between buildings is bad.
Are you adding an additional switch or replacing one?
I'm adding. And while I can cascade from one switch to the next, since I have the fiber link there, why not use it?
I'm glad it's working now.

Swapped and it's working great.
I can now say that 10Gtek stuff is compatible with Unifi Switches.
Not sure this really matters anymore since Ubiquiti now sells their own branded SFPs and they are very reasonably priced.
