VirtualConnect Flex-10 Ethernet SFP tranceiver question

[joewvogel]

I could be mistaken, but I thought I read somewhere that VC will support now or at some point in the future non-HP SFPs(i.e. a Cisco 1GB SFP). Was I misinformed?

As of now, I dont think VC supports third party SFP, future... hope HP will do it.

What works in my environment with VC Flex-10 since about VC 3.10 are Cisco 10gb SFP-DAC (copper) cables:

I was trying to plug in some Cisco 1GB SFPs, which didn't work. I guess we will get some HP ones. Maybe someday....

Thanks for your assistance.
