Network engineer from Da Nang. Mostly FS and generic modules.
Between VxRail Dell S5212F-ON TOR switches and Cisco C9500-48Y4C switches, FS.com SFP28 DACs behaved inconsistently: a 5 m cable custom-coded Cisco on one end and Dell on the other came Line Up, Protocol down; a 2 m Cisco/Cisco-coded cable linked; a 3 m cable would not link even with the 2 m…
I want the ISP box out of the meter cupboard and the GPON line terminated straight on the router. It is a KPN-based line, fibre comes in on SC/APC, and the idea is to move the WAN from the Huawei ONT into the SFP+ cage of the UDM-Pro and keep exactly the VLAN 6 / PPPoE setup the ONT was running…

Brocade G610, Fabric OS 9.x generic-coded 16G SWL SFP+, correct wavelength and reach according to the label Brocade-coded…
We are adding a G610 to an existing fabric and there is a box of non-Brocade 16G/32G FC SFP+ left over from another build. Before I plan any ports around them I put one into a spare port on the bench to see what the switch makes of it. Brocade G610, Gen 6 third-party 32G FC SFP+, no Brocade…

Ports come back error-disabled after a chassis power event, and less often drop into the same state while everything is running. It is not always the same ports, which is what makes this so…
A network operator received QFX3500 switches that would not bring up thhird-party SFP+ transceivers even though a Juniper sales engineer had said they would work. JTAC stated that non-Juniper SFP+ optics would never be supported on the platform. The switch detected the presence of the module but…
