Compatible transceivers

Important:
Avaya recommends using Avaya-branded SFP, SFP+, and QSFP+ transceivers as they have
been through extensive qualification and testing. Avaya will not be responsible for issues related
to non-Avaya branded transceivers.
• The VSP 8000 Series operates in forgiving mode for SFP transceivers, which means that
the switch will bring up the port operationally when using non-Avaya SFP transceivers.
Avaya does not provide support for operational issues related to these SFPs, but they will
operate and the port link will come up. The switch logs the device as an unsupported or
unknown device.
• The VSP 8000 Series operates in strict mode for SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers, which
means that the switch will not bring the port up operationally when using non-Avaya SFP+
or QSFP+ transceivers.
• The VSP 8000 Series operates in forgiving mode for SFP+ and QSFP+ direct attached
cables, which means that the switch will bring up the port operationally when using Non-
Avaya direct attached cables. Avaya does not provide support for operational issues
related to these DACs, but they will operate and the port link will come up.

Components on VSP Operating System Software, NN47227-301.
