Re: [AFMUG] IBM g8124 locked optics
Eh, $400 on eBay or $500 for the Ubiquiti edgeswitch 16 port. Will have to look at these G8124s, as I've never come across them before.

Good to know.. these G8124s look like perfect 10gb switches for home.. quite reasonably priced too! Let us know if the 3rd party fix works TJ.

Faisal sent me this a while back for those. Works on the G8264 also. = For 3rd party SFP's to work in IBM switches To set/reset SFP override, from the console port, start a reload of the switch, when it says memory test and starts putting periods up on the display, press the "shift-m" key combination several times, and it will boot into a "=>" prompt At the "=>" prompt enter the following (note the "O" in "Override" is case sensitive): setenv sfp Override saveenv <<< This is necessary to save the setting to NVRAM to survive a PoR printenv <<< this is to check to make sure the variable is set boot == On Wednesday, September 14, 2016, TJ Troutwrote: > Anyone have experience with sfp compatibility? > > I just stupidly ordered a bunch of transceivers from fiberstore before > doing research and now I'm seeing that some models are vendor locked >
Re: [AFMUG] IBM g8124 locked optics
Yes, Calix equipment does not give full functionality with non Calix SFPs. It is in the alarm and telemetry part of the system, not the actual data part. I think they still operate but there is enough downside to not want to use them.

Re: [AFMUG] IBM g8124 locked optics
FWIW, we generally order our vendor-coded optics from Pro Labs. They'll send a sample if they don't already have a tested/confirmed optic for some device. I've had great success on IBM Networking Blade Switches (old BNT).

Anyone have experience with sfp compatibility? I just stupidly ordered a bunch of transceivers from fiberstore before doing research and now I'm seeing that some models are vendor locked
