[c-nsp] Third party transceivers that fail only with new, NX-OS 6.2.2a on sup-2E

[Jeffrey G. Fitzwater]

I don’t see the  “service unsupported-transceiver” command nor does it run (in case its hidden).     That would imply its not there on 7k 6.1.3 or 6.2.2a.


Can you imagine us doing an upgrade on one of our core 7k and having all the transceivers fail.
