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 had a few offlist responses looking for the same or about coded optics.
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.

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?
