Let’s begin by setting up a DHCP server to respond with a default-url option and a web server with the ONIE-compatible NOS installer for IOS-XR.The relevant ISC-DHCP server config snippet is shown below: host AS7816-64X { hardware ethernet a8:2b:b5:87:9f:f4; fixed-address 172.30.0.60; next-server 172.30.0.22; option default-url = "http://172.30.0.22/AS7816-64X/iosxrwb-k9.amd64.installer"; if exists user-class and option user-class = "exr-config" { filename = "http://172.30

's network optics as an alternative to the Cisco, Juniper, Arista, HP, etc.: Network transceivers, typically small interface modules that provide combined transmit/receive capability, account for 10% to 15% of what organizations spend on equipment for a range of network deployme

3rd Party Network Optics 101: Do ECI Networks Optics require special unlock codes for Cisco, Juniper, Arista, F5, HP, etc.?No, all our Network Optics transceivers, AOC, and DAC properly coded do not require OEM operating system unlock commands. PLEASE NOTE that you must have purchased the correct vendor compatible optics (i.e. Cisco, Arista, Brocade, F5, Palo Alto, etc.) or otherwise you may have to use a command to allow generic 3rd party optical transceivers.

Tested & Validated  Our QSFP28 compatibility list is growing: CISCO NCS, JUNIPER MX, QFX, F5, HP, and more to come

Most Switches, NPB, NE allow the use of 40G QSFP+ optics within QSFP28 Port to support 10G using fanout cable or 40G using MTP fiber cable
