Cisco does a poor job of reading the SFF MSA fields from their own optics let alone what they describe as “3rd party”.
You may find it easier to use something to read/validate the optics yourself if that works for your logistics. (shameless plug: i have something that might be interesting showing you within this space, contact me off-list). There’s plenty of people who read and implement the SFF specification properly so reporting the bug against the platform and asking why there isn’t just a common library is where I would drive your discussion. This is very generic code that is 75% cut+paste from the SFF-8472, SFF-8024, SFF-8636 tables. 8431, 8690, 8079 also cover some other details that may be useful. - Jared > On Jul 6, 2015, at 7:32 AM, CiscoNSP List <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Thanks Nic - Ive already contacted them earlier....awaiting there response. > > > Cheers. > > > > ________________________________________ > From: cisco-nsp <[email protected]> on behalf of Nick > Hilliard <[email protected]> > Sent: Monday, 6 July 2015 9:26 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [c-nsp] SFPs (Third party) - ordered "standard" LH, but got "ZX" > > On 06/07/2015 12:22, CiscoNSP List wrote: >> So, it would "appear" that they are all LH....hopefully someone can >> confirm based of the TX/RX readings I provided? > > you need a multi-frequency light meter to confirm this. > > I would contact the transceiver supplier and ask them to confirm the > situation. > > Nick > _______________________________________________ > cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp > archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ > _______________________________________________ > cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] > https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp > archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
