Hi Colin,
Many thanks for your reply - it's pretty clear that Aruba will not provide tech support for non-Aruba plug-ins and this has been made clear to my customer. What I need to understand really is what the host controller does with SFPs, at plug-in time. If it performs some kind of check for non-Aruba SFPs and refuses to activate them, as a deliberate step, that's a very different thing from 'it might work and it might not'. Do you know if such checks are performed by Aruba controllers?
Thanks again, in advance... :)
