That is true for the ICX as well. -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-boun...@nanog.org] On Behalf Of Olivier Benghozi Sent: Tuesday, March 31, 2015 9:13 AM To: nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: Experience Brocade ICX7750 and other vendor SFP
I don't know if ICX behave like the FCX, but on those equipments, other_vendor_SFPs work perfectly (Finisar, Skylane CWDM 70km, at least). However the brocade won't let you use "optical-monitor" on them if they are "standard coded", so you won't be able to check optical values (tx/rx dBm levels and so on). Having the other_vendor_SFP coded as a "Brocade SFP" will do the trick however. > Le 31 mars 2015 à 14:44, Joe McLeod <jmcl...@musfiber.net> a écrit : > > +1 on Brocade ICX 6610 with other vendor's optics.
