[j-nsp] Cisco SX SFP on Juniper EX2200

[Chuck Anderson]

Regarding my previous comment about auto-negotiation, on the EX
platform the correct command is:

set/delete interfaces ge-x/y/z ether-options no-auto-negotiation

I've had good luck with MSA-coded "generic", Cisco-coded, and
Nortel-coded optics on EX4500, EX4200 and EX2200 as well as MX, so
that conflicts with your information above.  I've basically never had
any kind of compatibility problem with any optic I've tried in Juniper
platforms, LX, SX, Copper, 10GE-LR, CWDM, DWDM, with or without
DOM/DDM support... they all have worked.

Perhaps your statement is more true on EX8200--I don't have any of
them.

Here are some examples I have in operation right now:
