[j-nsp] Connecting Juniper LX to Cisco 6500 LX over short distance

[Jonas Frey (Probe Networks)]

Hi,

i can confirm, too, that Juniper LH to Cisco LX/LH works mostly fine. In
some cases we had to use 10db attenuators because we had alot input
errors on the Cisco side.

Speaking of the LH, does anyone have a Juniper LH to Juniper LX running?
Wonder if it'll do.

Regards,
Jonas
