Between 4.1.1 and 4.2.1 the support for some of our third party (CWDM)
SFPs got lost, that means:

show controller
"""
State:
    Administrative state: disabled
    Operational state: Down (Reason: Security failure (not a valid part))
    LED state: Off

Phy:
    Media type: Initializing, true state or type not yet known
    Optics:
        Vendor:
        Part number: CWDM-SFP-1550
        Serial number: xxxxxxxxxx
"""

With 4.1.1 it showed "OEM" in the Vendor field.

"transceiver permit pid all" and "service unsupported-transceiver"
aren't helping.  As one can see "show inventoy" and "Part number" are
still working...

So, test your third party SFPs before upgrading.


If anybody has a fix (which does not involve new hardware ;)) please let
me know.
