HP 5820-24XG logs FIBER_SFPMODULE_NOWINVALID for genuine X240 JD097C DACs and shows rising broadcast counters
1
On an HP 5820-24XG-SFP+ (JC102A) the ports cabled with genuine HP X240 10G SFP+ 3 m DACs (JD097C) came up but logged OPTMOD/4/FIBER_SFPMODULE_NOWINVALID: This is not a supported transceiver for this platform, and broadcast/multicast counters on those ports grew faster than normal. The cable is listed in the switch datasheet, so the poster asked whether the warning would affect connectivity.

Two respondents (including HPE support) advised upgrading to the latest firmware, suspecting the running release predates the cable's addition to the compatibility list.
