I have the unmanaged version now and don't have the web gui to upload. I've lost the ability to manage the switch. Switch works as unmanaged
Horaco 2.5GbE Managed Switch (8 x 2.5GbE + 1 10Gb SFP+)

Earlier I tried using firmware V200.1.16 for Lianguo LG-SG5T1 but port 5 doesn't work properly.
I tried using SL902-SWTGW215AS:HRRF_V200.1.20_SL902-SWTGW215AS_1017.bin and it worked.

Just a suggestion, if you're comfortable with little bit of soldering. If surrounding space allows I find these kind of sockets incredibly useful. Having the same footprint as the SOIC-8 flash chips they can be soldered in place, making the flash easy to swap out.
I checked the managed version first, but the switch didn't start. I plan to buy another model like this and try to copy it, but in my country Keeplink on Aliexpress stopped selling them and they are under a different brand but with the same case and motherboard.
noob here when it comes to enterprise (those not using RJ45) networking equipment...
I have an HP 560SFP+ with an optical transceiver (455885-001). I bought it a long time ago but I have not used it.
Can someone please recommended a 10Gbps transceiver I can use on the Horaco end? Thank you.
EDIT: Can I use another 455885-001 on the Horaco end?

Realtek based switches like these don't have any vendor locking so any cheap 10GBASE-SR transceiver should work.
Would another HP 455885-001 work? Yes. Is it far too expensive for what it is? Yes. If you already have one though, feel free to use it.
You can find compatible transceivers for as little as a few USD if you're in the US:
AOI 10GB SFP+ A7EL-SN85-ADMA 300M 850NM SR Dual LC Transceiver | eBay
We’ll resolve the issue and make it right.

You can also find them on Amazon or AliExpress for roughly $10-15.
Question please, would generic Intel transceivers work on the HP?Realtek based switches like these don't have any vendor locking so any cheap 10GBASE-SR transceiver should work.

If you get another one and copy the firmware, you will need to figure out where the mac address is located and edit it. At least if you want both to work on the same network.
In the HP NIC? An old thread on here from 2020 suggests that it's an OEM version of the Intel X520 NIC. Retail Intel NICs often have vendor locking, but I don't know if HP enabled it or not. If so, you can patch bit in the card's EEPROM to disable the vendor lock.
However, didn't you say you had a HP transceiver already? If so, try that one and buy a cheap generic transceiver for the Horaco switch.
Somehow I was not successful when I had originally tried to find the mac address in a firmware dump, but it turns out it is actually pretty easy. You just need a hex editor that lets you search the hex values and then use that to look for the mac address. I did it using beyond compare to also compare across the firmware dumps from two different switches.
The problem of the SPI flash chip replacement with the Winbond W25Q16JV is the OTP area used for encrypted data (in this case it's not Security Register, but SFDP register).
Edit: My previous statement is not completely true. There are actually 4 security registers in Winbond W25Q16JV (Security Register #1, #2, #3 and undocumented Security Register #0 used for SFDP info).
Check the excellent explanation of the flash chip replacements here:

I have an SWTG118AS-V2 board on hand. Currently, none of the Ethernet LEDs are lit, only the SYS light is blinking, which is the same situation many people on the forum have encountered. I used a C...

Regarding the SOIC-8 sizes: 208 mil is currently used for managed switches, while 150 mil for unmanaged (there are two footprints on the V2.0.1 PCBs assembled accordingly with associated resistors).

There's nothing newer than your 1.9.1, and most probably there never will be anything newer.
Hi,
The Sodola firmwares worked also for me on my Horaco HC-SWTGW215AS & HC-SWTG124AS (upgrading from V200.1.11 & V200.1.10 to V200.1.20)
This is the latest build date but its still 1.9.1
I used to run the Apr 25 2024 one but then updated to this one
