Hello, there are providers like Flexoptix(http://www.flexoptix.net) who are able to flash SFP EEPROM memory with different vendor data, probably set custom serial numbers etc. However, why is such service needed at nowadays for Cisco equipment? Every router/switch I have seen supports the "service unsupported-transceiver"(should turn of checking the "Cisco Quality ID") and "no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid" commands and thus doesn't check the ID code in EEPROM.. In addition, am I correct, that some old Cisco IOS versions did not have the "service unsupported-transceiver" and "no errdisable detect cause gbic-invalid" commands and thus one really was forced to use transceivers with Cisco serials?
Last but not least, does SmartNet require you to use Cisco branded transceivers? I have heard that this is true only in case the fault or unexpected behaviour is related to transceiver.. regards, Martin _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
