That is true for the ICX as well. -----Original Message----- From: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@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.

+1 on Brocade ICX 6610 with other vendor's optics. We're using the 6610's as aggregation route/switches with a mix of Cisco, Alcatel, and 3rd party optics (one of which is a 10G BiDi) and have had no issues.
Thanks, Joe

I use the ICX 6610's which I believe run the same code train. I use other vendor optics to light 3 spans of dark fiber, one of which is 60km, so I have Axiom 80km optics in production there. I have had no issues. I also use the VDX series switches with other vendor optics and no issues.

Hi all,
does anyone have experiences regarding Brocade ICX7750 and other vendors SFP.
Information will be helpful for planing new infrastructure and costs.
Thanks to all!
