[c-nsp] counterfeit?

[Jonathan Crawford]

Responding to my own post... not good.

Sorry, not enough coffee yet this morning. Missed the it runs without serv
unsupp...

If you did not buy it from a known source, or got it at a super bargain
price, I'd be weary. I'd treat it as an unsupported gbic unless I knew
better. Granted the worst (hopefully, I havent tried this) is Cisco will
come back and tell you it is unsupported and you need to try a supported
transceiver to troubleshoot with.

If your gbic requires those to run then it probably isnt a "counterfeit"
supported transciever, it is just flat out unsupported. That said, a few
that we use at work are unsupported and have worked just fine for well over
3/4 of a year with no problem. Just don't request support on an issue
involving the gbic with them installed.
