well, it seems that I have some really strange SFPs...

Unsupported - work fine, but unknown were:
finisar FTRJ-1316-7D-2.5
Cisco 10-1755-01
and chinese CWDM SFPs.

Probably they don't present themselves in some standard way (LX/SX/ZX) 
so the switch refuses to accept them.

Anyone tested CWDM SFPs with ExtremeWare ?

Marcin
