BPI-R3 SFP1, how to enable?

Hello, What is the trick to get the SFP1 port enabled? I see that SFP2 is bridged to eth1, BR-LAN, this is working good. I thought I could somehow bridge eth0 and SFP1, via coping the SFP2 settings. I did use a different static subnet for SFP1, instead of the SFP1 IP settings. This is confusing…

  1. SFP1 is for WAN port, it’s eth1
  2. SFP2 is for lan port, it’s lan5

the SFP modules only work at 2.5Gbps. the CPU’s mac seeting is forcing link up 2.5Gpbs.

Thanks for explaining this!
