My understanding (possibly incorrect) is that the SFP must be provisioned to set up some kind of encryption or authentication keys, and you wouldn’t be able to do that yourself.

Mainly curiosity / part of an exercise in becoming familiar with (not expert in) networking at the endpoint, including configuration/operation of a wired router like the Edge Router X SFP in a SOHO use case. So no expectation of any service level/bandwith improvement, and no plans to quit the day job:>
