I never had any problems of whatsoever with third-party optics on
FESX, FGS, MLX or XMR's. The only issue was a 1000T SFP not working.
A software upgrade fixed that.
You must not be using DOM, then.

Ironically, the optic was purchased from Foundry, carries a Foundry
logo and Foundry warranty, arrived in a Foundry box etc. DOM support
may have come in a later software release than this particular switch
is running at the moment, though - they've been for a while reporting
optics brands that they used to ship as "Foundry Networks" instead.
At the risk of beating a dead horse: support for optics not sold by
the vendor is vital to any serious business. Being locked in means
you can toss your investment when your network changes even slightly.
