Personally, I'd have no objection to LACP on 4x25G links if that's what gets the job done. I think you should be able to configure the Arista that way and it'll just show up as 4 sub-interfaces like et1/1, et1/2, et1/3, et1/4.
With reflectance -20 I'd still go stab all the connectors with a 1-click cleaner before I look for any issue more complicated than that. Combo pack on Amazon for $18.99 has both ferrule sizes: https://t.ly/bHMfU They're one-click, but they're so cheap don't be afraid to double-tap or triple-tap just to be sure you got it. At -20 reflectance there's junk on the ferrule. You'd get an improvement just from licking it. Hard to get your tongue inside the female port though. -Adam -----Original Message----- From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of fiber...@mail.com Sent: Friday, January 26, 2024 7:04 AM To: af@af.afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] optical TX power levels On Friday, January 26, 2024 Chuck McCown wrote: > Could he bond dwm multiples at lower rates? Yes. Needs a muxponder or do a breakout at both ends to do it transparently. Just bonding the links is obviously also an option.

FYI, I never got the original post to the list. Is the list somehow broken? It's been awfully quiet lately in either case. - Jared -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
