Hi, We have been (and still) using all kinds of brocade hardware, including VDX from early NOS2.x AFAIK, I couldn’t find an equivalent command to « unsupported transceiver ». So you will always get a syslog message, but usually it won’t stop port from coming up. Regarding to optical transceivers, re-encoded 3rd party transceivers work very well. But when it comes to DAC, and we have tested a lot for them, usually we use « original » brocade DACs. We also tested successfully IBM an CISCO DACs, they work just fine but you’ll the usual syslog message. However, DOM information might be incomplete. Best regards.

I've been able to use Brocade -coded optics from FiberStore, but a DAC which should be universal (and passes the muster for the Intel NICs it's plugged into) returns, " 2018/03/21-15:14:00, [NSM-1028], 2679, DCE, ERROR, sw0, Incompatible SFP transceiver for interface TenGigabitEthernet 54/0/16 is detected." Unfortunately, show media doesn't help because the interface is offline. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Hammett" <nanog () ics-il net> To: "NANOG list" <nanog () nanog org> Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2018 3:18:28 PM Subject: Brocade unsupported transceiver? Anyone know if there is a command in Brocade NOS (4.x) to force the use of an unsupported transceiver? If so, what is it? ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com
