[j-nsp] Junos 12.3 more strict about 3rd party optics?

[Chuck Anderson]

Is Junos 12.3 more strict about 3rd party MSA optics than 11.4?  I've
been using 3rd party MSA optics in EX without troubles, including DOM
support working fine.  I just deployed a new EX4200 VC with 12.3R6,
and the DOM isn't working on the 3rd party MSA optics (but the link
comes up and works), but those same optics work with DOM on an MX
running 11.4.  Interesting that it says "unknown cable" whereas my
other 3rd party CWDM SFP+ optics say "10GBASE-LR" there.
