[f-nsp] Module Reset Due to TM Errors?

[Jan Pedersen]

We are using 3rd parts optics to 95 % in our NetIrons, and have had
quite a few Resets due to TM Errors. But we don't use Cisco SFP's/XFP's.

 

I'm interesting to hear what code Brocade TAC has suggested for the
upgrade?

 

Best regards

Following up my previous email with an update and an additional
question...

 

Update: Brocade TAC has suggested a software upgrade because this
appears to be an issue with the code version we are running. That
upgrade has NOT been completed yet so I cannot confirm or deny
resolution to the issue with that solution.

 

Question: I noticed that this is the only XMR that is running Cisco SFP
optics. Specifically, there are two Cisco SFPs on this card that each
pass ~20Mbps. Has anyone seen linecard reboots when using 3rd Party
optics, specially Cisco optics?

 

Thanks for sharing any of your experiences and for any feedback or
insights.

Here's a show version output for that card:

Has anyone else seen behavior like this on a NI XMR before?

 

Thanks for any suggestions or insights.
