In my opinion this is the main problem. 100Base-LX interface type is used very often these days and the number of LX10 SFP needed is not high. It should not be a problem to buy a few more expensive SFP from authorized source. But it has to be 100Base-LX10. Workaround with using GE SFP it's not feasible in my case. > Since it is impossible to use a Juniper optic that doesn't exist, if > your requirement is for LX10, your only choice is to purchase 3rd party. That is exactly, what I did. My supplier provided me a SFP with nice blue sticker "Juniper Compatible". Unfortunately, I couldn't force the interface to be up, even with external fiber loop on the same module (TX2RX). The manufacturer of that module was GBC Photonics (SF-SM31020D-01G-GP). > I have used 3rd party LX10 optics (along with just about any other kind > of optic you can imagine) on MX series with no problem.

Can you tell what exactly type of MX-series line card and what was exactly manufacturer and P/N of SFP you used with 100Base-LX10 ? In my case it was: MIC 3D 20x 1GE(LAN) and SFP as mentioned above. > Other people will tell you not to use 3rd party optics for the before > mentioned reasons. From my point of view it is acceptable to use 3rd party optics, especially when I don't have another choice. -- Pozdrawiam, Łukasz Dudziński _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
