[f-nsp] 3rd party optics

[Jorik Jonker]

Hi,

It seems the Brocade products we use (FastIron, BigIron and NetIron) are happy to accept and use third party optics (E1MG-*, XFP-*), but some of the boxes, particulary FastIrons, are a bit picky on reporting DOM. Workaround seems to reprogram the EEPROM, so it lies to the switch about its make and model.

Only troubles I've seen is with E1MG-TX (RJ45 copper) "optics", but it could be that we have seen a bad batch.

Best regards,

Jorik Jonker

Hi all,

Can anyone confirm/disprove, that any Brocade product is know to have 
'religious' restriction for 3rd party optics. Both SPF and XFP/SPF+.

I've been told it (non-native transceivers) is accepted, but there are 
some rumors...
