Hi there,
I am fairly new to Cisco Meraki Gateways and Cloud Managed Switches. I have received 4 MS350-48FPs which were otherwise being thrown out by my company due to upgrades in our server room so I took them home.
I have an Ethernet-SFP fiber converter box connected to my home router from my ISP which gives me 1Gbps fiber out, and I have another SFP module (10Gbps capable) which I used to connect to my MikroTik Routerboard. Before I was using this MikroTik as a sort of SFP-to-ethernet converter, and then passing the ethernet cable out to the Meraki switch.
However, I am now in need of more ports on my ethernet, all of them with PoE. I was hoping to be able to use one of the Merakis to directly feed into my SFP fiber line and avoid having the MikroTik altogheeter, as it is also now causing problems due to IP address conflicts with other subnet I have aorund the house. However, I cannot get the SFP Module(s) working into the slots on the Meraki MS350-48FP. Nothing blinks (on either end, and there is no data transmission between the two enpoints). The SFP Module is detected as I see it as the listed device on the SFP+ Port when I check the Meraki Dashboard. I am sure the problem is not with the fiber/SFP modules, as everything lights up when plugged into the old MikroTik routerboard...
When the Meraki is connected to the router via an Ethernet cable, everything works fine, but since this will be in a shed, I don't have a long enough Ethernet cable to stretch out that far.
Any help with this issue is very much appreciated.
Thank you so much,
Regards,
Lorenzo
