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.
