Hi,
I'm trying to determine what kind of information is being stored in EEPROM of optics. Is that info pure informational or is it somehow usable by switch and influences hardware operations. Thinking here perhaps about some thresholds that can for example shutdown optic, based on some condition.
Based on wiki article EPPROM contains:
transceiver's capabilities, standard interfaces, manufacturer, and other information
My use case is to use 3rd party optics in a switch. I can get those optics working by issuing a command enabling 3rd party optics, so they are operational. But is it still worth to code optics with vendor specific info ?
