Hi all,

Wondered if anyone had an experience with interop between Brocade 100G LR4
interfaces and Ciena 6500 DWDM gear (specifically the 100G WL3e C-band LR
transponder card)?

Any gotchas or known issues to report?

The Ciena gear isn't under my control, it's carrier equipment.

On the far side of the DWDM infra, there's the reverse -  demux and
transponder, going into a Juniper (I think MX of some description), all not
under my control.

We're getting repeated bouncing of the interface our side with "Remote
Fault 1" as the reason.

Sadly, I can't go and eyeball this myself as it's in Japan, so I'm
dependent on local hands and eyes to get to the bottom of this.

We're already interoperating the Brocade 100G LR4 interfaces successfully
in the EU with other Brocade, Cisco and Juniper gear, and I suspect ALU too.

I suspect this is the first time we've gone across the metro at 100G on
infra other than our own.

If anyone's got any helpful suggestions, please drop me a line.

Cheers,
Mike
