I don't know if ICX behave like the FCX, but on those equipments, =
other_vendor_SFPs work perfectly (Finisar, Skylane CWDM 70km, at least).
However the brocade won't let you use "optical-monitor" on them if they =
are "standard coded", so you won't be able to check optical values =
(tx/rx dBm levels and so on). Having the other_vendor_SFP coded as a =
"Brocade SFP" will do the trick however.
