Is is possible to post the beta-firmware? :)

  @Renive The Beta did also resolve my problem, so thanks a lot! I also had contact with the TP-Link Support. After some discussions, the provided me with the same Beta-Version. Their explanation is that:

 

"Optical SFP modules generate considerable heat. In our tests, some third-party optical modules quickly heated up to over 60°C shortly after commissioning. Since the SFP+ optical modules have exposed metal surfaces, we are concerned about the risk of burns when plugging or unplugging SFP+ devices during this high temperature phase. Therefore, we decided to activate the fans continuously to cool the SFP modules and ensure that the temperature does not rise too high. 

As long as the SFP+ port is plugged in, the fan will operate, which is the expected behavior.

If the user cannot accept the explanation, please provide the following beta firmware: https://static.tp-link.com/upload/beta/2023/202312/20231218/be85v2_1.0.14_231205_beta.zip"
