Though not had any experience with MX's, we were never successful in getting DAC's to work with our EX's. Had to go for optics. We learned to just not bother with DAC's in future due to off-list anecdotes of such behavior - not just with Juniper (HPE, Cisco...)

Is anybody using DAC cables on MX routers? We have a customer with an MX10003 connected to EX4600 switches with 40G DAC cables (Juniper parts, not third-party). Upon upgrading the router JUNOS to 18.2R3-S3, none of the interfaces with a DAC cable would come up on the router end. JTAC's response was that no DAC cables are supported on any MX routers. That seems a little odd to me... I thought DAC cables are a part of the various specs, so saying they're not supported is saying those aren't actually Ethernet ports to me. -- Chris Adams <c...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
