He's right, this happens and some 3rd party optic vendors still sell X2s like this so we just buy all Cisco now at least for X2s they aren't that expensive.

This is buggy microcontroller from gigalight where after 2**31 1/100th of a second you start to write clock in temperature sensor memory-area. Fun times when you have tons of these, and in maintenance window boot lot of devices, then after 2**31 has passed, they all go down at the same time. Reminder that no amount of redundancy really guarantees you anything. For what it is worth, gigalight handled this issue extremely well for us, even though we didn't do any business with them. But the broker who sold them to us, 'network wide' was my worst experience ever. -- ++ytti _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
