[j-nsp] Interfaces with copper SFPs not getting torn down when partner is disabled (not correctly recognizing Media type?)

Hi Jason,

What your SE has told you is perfectly true, that third party transceivers
are supported - however, not all transceivers are created equally, nor
encoded correctly.

>From your experience above, I would stick to Finistar for production and
earmark the rest for lab use only.

Once you find a good supplier, stick with them and if you find any issues,
they will generally work with you to assist.

Cheers,
Graham
