[alcatel-nsp] ESS Mixed mode

[Robert J. Huey]

Hi Peder, 

We just did this in our lab on a similar configuration.   It works fine but you'll reload your IMM's when you put them into mixed mode.    

From the CLI do: 

"tools perform system mixed-mode-upgrade 4,5"   	; This will reload each IMM and put them in 7750/SR mode as follows: 


    card 5
        capability sr
        card-type imm5-10gb-xfp
        mda 1
            no shutdown
        exit
        no shutdown
    exit

One last thing, I think you need be be 8.0.R5 or better.  We're running:
