They worked fine, but DOM was showing really odd values (33 volts, module temperature of several hundred degrees, etc.). The counters looked normal once I switched them out for the "right" optics. They were third party optics but they were programmed for those platforms. I don't have any Juniper optics in that variety so I don't know whether they'd behave the same. > Does anyone have experience with the compatibility of the generics? > Agilestair or so on?

I try to stick with Juniper on devices that have a lot of optics (since it would be a pain to change them all out if JTAC tried to blame the optics for a problem), but I might change that strategy if I had enough devices to warrant sparing Juniper optics (for JTAC-compatible changeouts) in appropriate quantities. :w _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
