Hello Eric, I got confused, you are absolutely right. Here is a thread I started a few years ago when we bought our first units : https://community.brocade.com/t5/Ethernet-Fabric-VDX-CNA/Passive-Twinax-cables-not-recognized-in-VDX-switches/td-p/28978 Best regards. 2018-03-21 23:58 GMT+01:00 Eric Litvin <eric () lumaoptics net>:
You need to program the passive dac to look like an active dac. Brocade wants active. Ping me if you want help.

Anyone know if there is a command in Brocade NOS (4.x) to force the useof an unsupported transceiver? If so, what is it?----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com Midwest-IX http://www.midwest-ix.com
