Tags: #Firmware Update
Model: TL-SX3008F  
Hardware Version: V12
Firmware Version: 1.20.7 Build 20250430 Rel.44686

Everytime I restart my computer, I have to change the SFP+ port on the switch for the connection to work. If I restart the switch the SFP+ ports work again.

 

OS: Windows 11 Pro 24H2, uses TP-Link 10GB PCIe Network Card (TX401) on the computer - connects using TP-Link TL-SM5310-T transciever to the switch. Didn't have this issue with previous Firmware versions.

 

Not sure about the hardware version, on the Omada controlller: SX3008F v1.20

Consider upgrading the driver of your NIC. 

Set the NIC to 10Gbps. On the switch, you can also force it to be 10Gbps, will this persist? 

When it is not working, what's the NIC status? Screenshot. 

You are certain that the previous firmware did not pose the same issue? What's the version?
