[c-nsp] N5K with Generic Copper sfp

[Thomason, Simon]

Hey All,

Was just wondering if anyone has had much luck using generic copper sfp in a nexus 5020? I have run into an issue with a generic SFP will not bring the port up on my 5k but a Cisco one work first time.

I do know that Cisco will say to use a Cisco sfp but there is a rather big price difference between generic and cisco :(
