[e-nsp] BIDI SFP support on Summit48si platform

[Martin T]

Hi,

so you have seen BIDI(Extreme Networks seems to call those 1000BASE
BX-D/1000BASE BX-U SFP's or 1000BASE-BX in general in their
documentation) type SFP transceivers in Summit48si platform? According
to "Extreme Networks Pluggable Interface Modules Installation Guide"
1000BASE-BX Bi-Directional SFP Modules are not supported on Summit48si
platform, but probably the Summit48si platform was already end of life
at the time this document was published :)


thanks,
Martin
