Too there must be a cable with a link active on the WAN 2.5 Gbe port to make the SFP work.

Setting the `gmac1` node to fixed link 2500Base-X gives the possibility to hot-swap the SFP/RJ45 port. + +The following is a repo that contains a proper example: [EX5601-T0 fixed SFP link git repo](https://github.com/pameruoso/openwrt-ex5601t0-porting/tree/ex5601-t0-fixedlink) you can apply the [patch](https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/compare/main...pameruoso:openwrt-ex5601t0-porting:ex5601-t0-fixedlink.patch) to the official OpenWrt repo. + +{% include alert.html content="It is highly recommended to use the OpenWrt official builds instead of this fork because the latter is not updated that often, still if you want to use the SFP you can insert it into a media converter and use the 2.5Gbe RJ45 port with the official build." alert="Info" icon="svg-info" color="blue" %} + +Here is a flashable bin file based on OpenWrt 5.15.114 with the mod to swap SFP/RJ45.
