[c-nsp] Way to get 3rd party optics to work in UCS/FEX?

Are you talking about sfp/xfp 3rd party support in NXOS?  If so, would this
limitation apply to Cisco 5548UP as well ?  Asking since I'm considering
buying some of those and want to know what I'm getting myself into.

Unfortunately NXOS on the UCS fabric interconnects is apparently limited to
read only mode (according to TAC); any changes have to go through the web
interface and they've intentionally disabled any option of using unsupported
transceivers.

Back to the drawing board,

David
