Hi Morgan, we had troubles on EX4500 with certain xWDM SFP+ (toggling link states like you described) and/or neighbor combinations as well. In our case we could fix it with the SFP+ vendor* engineering department as they offered a modified product. HTH, /Rene * Contact me off-list for more

This is what the optic diagnostic looked like last night. Physical interface: xe-2/0/1 Laser bias current: 68.304 mA Laser output power: 1.1930 mW / 0.77 dBm Module temperature: 25 degrees C / 77 degrees F M

It looks like you're using SFP+ ? Are you sure it's CWDM ? Usually 10G modules are DWDM because the wavelengths around 1550nm are better in terms of attenuation. Can you give the brand and model of the WDM optics you're using so we can check -9.6 dBm in reception is within the acceptable power ran

If the optics support DOM (Digital Optic Monitoring), what is the received signal power when you issue the following command ? show interface diagnostics optic ge-X/X/X ? Then compare it to the specs of the optic, maybe when you moved the optic and fiber you added some attenuation of the fiber an

Hi all. I'm doing some work migrating from some brocade routers to a couple MX480's. The client currently uses CWDM between two sites, and the brocades handle the SFP's fine. We popped them into the MX480's and link came up and down a few times according to logs (though I could never catch it in
