Hi,
I have a lab setup with three nodes (2 M7i and 1 EX4200) in the
following topology (forgive the bad ascii art):
M7i1 -- EX
\ /
\ /
M7i2
The links between them are all gige going through layer2 switches with a
VLAN 302
Thanks for the insights. Which 3rd party transceivers have you had the best
luck with then?

Personally I've never had a single issue with Finisar, Fujitsu, or Opnext.
SFP, SFP+, or XFP.

When you evaluate third-party optics, do a complete test of them.

Several manufacturers, like Finisar, MRV, etc. send the units that
test well to Juniper, Cisco, etc. The ones that don't pass well, go to

The best thing nowadays is to get an eeprom programmer and do all this
stuff yourself, this is what we do.
This way you are flexible with 3rd party optics. You just buy a bunch of
XFPs/SFP/SFP-P's with generic firmware and identifiers and programm the
rest yourself for whatever device you are

I've heard the same, from my router/switch sales people. I'm sure
OK
I used to work for TWO different switch vendors
Third party optics are for the most part not the optics that fail tests. Those
are usually labeled refurbished. I know JNPR ,CISCO and others do not like to
support other vendor optics. So keep a set of theirs around. You should
