I had (accidentally) SFP 1000BaseLX/LH and 1000BaseZX talk to each other through SMF, regardless of their different wavelengths (!).
Although everything worked fine (passing traffic through) for some minutes, i replaced one of the SFPs in order to be sure i won't meet any problems in the future. -- Tassos Azher Mughal wrote on 18/5/2008 5:48 πμ: > It should not work as both have different encoding and no of wavelengths. > > http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/prod_white_paper0900aecd802a648b.html > > -Azher > > Justin M.
