Hi all,
Is there a way for unlocking off-brand transceivers usage on Arista
switches?
I've got an Arista 7050QX switch with 4.14 EOS version. Then it has been
found out that Arista switches seem to not have possibility to unlock
off-brand xcievers usage (by some service command or so).
I've patched /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/XcvrAgent.py, made the
checking function bypass the actual check and it helped: ports are not
in errdisable state anymore. But despite of xceivers are detected
correctly, links aren't coming up (they are in notconnect state).
If anyone possibly have does have a sacred knowledge of bringing
off-branded transceivers to life on Arista switches, your help'd be very
appreciated. Thanks.
