Caution
Beginning with ExtremeXOS 15.4, customers adding new unapproved third-party 40G or 100G optical interface modules to their Extreme Networks switches will receive an informational message via SNMP/Syslog. This message will indicate that they have an unapproved third-party 40G or 100G optic and that in ExtremeXOS 15.5 a third party 40G/100G feature license will be required for full functionality of the new hardware. Customers can use a feature license to remove this warning message.Caution
Beginning with ExtremeXOS 15.5, customers needed to purchase a 3rd Party Optics Feature license to achieve full functionality of new unapproved third-party 40G or 100G optical interfaces. If customers do not use the feature license for these new modules, they will receive an informational message via SNMP/ Syslog. The message will indicate that they have an unapproved third-party 40G or 100G optic and that a feature license is required for full functionality of the new hardware. Using versions of ExtremeXOS 15.5 earlier than 15.5.5, customers will have 90 days to obtain the feature pack before the port's egress bandwidth is rate-limited to 25% of line rate. Use of version 15.5.5 or any of the versions listed above removes the requirement for a third party license feature pack and no restrictions on the use of the unapproved 40G or 100G transceivers will be imposed.
