Common Non-Authentication Alarm Messages for Switches
Time: 2025-05-15
Host manufacturers to limit the use of third-party modules in their equipment, usually access optical module detection, including but not limited to reading the optical module manufacturer name, model number, serial number, custom part of the data (encrypted information in plain text or dynamic) and other information, to determine whether it is the original or certified compatible module; for non-original or detection of the module does not pass, different vendors have different processing strategies, such as not support the use, alarm or disable some of the functions. For non-original or failed modules, different vendors have different strategies to deal with them, such as unsupported use, alerting or disabling some functions.
ModuleTek Limited Laboratory lists some of the mainstream switch brands that have customized compatibility requirements, and shows you their measures for handling third-party modules.
