[j-nsp] Juniper branded Sumitomo Optics

[Bill Blackford]

I'm seeing an inconsistent behavior. I have two Juniper branded XFP (LR)
made by Sumitomo inserted into a chassis, but are not configured nor
connected. Looking at the light levels, I see

Laser rx power         0.0098 mW / -20.09 dBm     and similar for the other.

Now, other optics I have in the same chassis, also not configured nor
connected, show

Laser rx power         0.0000 mW / -Inf dBm

I would suspect the second behavior (that of the non-Sumitomo's) should be
correct, expected.

My question is, which of these behaviors is correct and does it matter?

Thank you,
