1 Licensing Requirements
Optical Interfaces Licensing Requirements
Licensing of Third-Party Optical Modules
Optical Interfaces Licensing Requirements
The following notes describe the licensing requirements for 40G and 100G optical interfaces used in
Extreme Networks hardware.
Caution
Beginning with EXOS 15.4, customers adding new unapproved third-party 40G or 100G
optical interface modules to their Extreme Network switches will receive an informational
message via SNMP/ Syslog. This message will indicate that they have an unapproved thirdparty 40G or 100G optic and that in EXOS 15.5 a third party 40G/100G feature license will be
required for full functionality of the new hardware. Customers can purchase a feature license
to remove this warning message.
Caution
Beginning with EXOS 15.5, customers will need to purchase a feature license to achieve full
functionality of new unapproved third-party 40G or 100G optical interfaces. If customers do
not purchase the feature license for these new modules, they will receive an informational
message via SNMP/ Syslog. This message will indicate that they have an unapproved thirdparty 40G or 100G optic and that a feature license is required for full functionality of the new
hardware. Customers will have 90 days to obtain the feature pack before the port's egress
bandwidth is rate-limited to 25% of line rate.
Warning
Extreme Networks authorized and certified optical modules are tested to work in all
supported Extreme Networks hardware and switching equipment. Extreme Networks does
not provide any warranty or compliance statement pertaining to any third-party nonapproved hardware. Use of non-approved optics modules and corresponding interface
modules is solely at your own risk and without any liability, warrant, or service obligation by
Extreme Networks. Extreme recommends use and integration of only manufacturer certified
hardware as expressly referenced within the applicable Extreme Networks product
documentation. In addition, any non-approved third-party optic modules in use by you shall
be compliant with all regulatory standards as applicable to the location of operation that may
include but not limited to NRTL, FCC CFR 21 1040.10, CDRH Letter of Approval, CE marked,
EN60825-1 and or GR-468.
Pluggable Hardware Installation Guide 8
Licensing Requirements
Licensing of Third-Party Optical Modules
Extreme Networks optical modules are tested to work in all supported Extreme Networks switches. We
recommend that all customers use Extreme Networks optical modules in their Extreme Networks
switches. Extreme Networks assumes no liability for third-party optical modules. Although Extreme
Networks does not block third-party optical modules, we cannot ensure that all third-party optical
modules operate properly in all Extreme Networks switches. The customer assumes all risks associated
with using third-party optical modules in Extreme Networks switches.
Extreme Networks’ recommended policy is for its customers to purchase Extreme authorized and
qualified optical devices as further described on Extreme’s then-current price lists. Historically, Extreme
Networks customers were not technically restricted from integrated use of non-approved 3rd party
optical devices to attach to high-speed ports. In keeping with standard industry practices, to maximize
overall product quality and reduce servicing challenges, Extreme Networks will restrict the integration
of non-qualified 3rd party optical devices within 40G and 100G product environments, unless you
purchase the EXOS 3rd Party 40G/100G Optics feature license to allow such integration.
Note
Pursuit of such integration remains outside of Extreme’s standard committed terms of
product warranty and support Direct customer support for such usage of high-speed
unapproved 3rd party optical devices will continue to be limited, and considered out of
scope.
The use of 1G and 10G optic devices by customers is not affected by this new Feature Pack use
requirement.
Extreme Networks’ policy regarding the use of 3rd Party Optics can be viewed in our Pluggable
Interface Modules Installation Guide, and related policies, located here: www.extremenetworks.com
This EXOS 15.5 release creates a new requirement for customers to purchase a feature license pack
named “3rd Party Optics Feature License”. Like other feature-pack licenses, once you apply the license
to a specific switch, the feature is enabled for the life of the switch. Without such a license, switches
with 40G and 100G hardware ports that are inserted with unapproved 3rd Party optics modules will
have 90 days before the egress traffic on that particular port is automatically limited to 25% of line rate.
Note
The restriction is flagged by show port conf command output, and warningmessages are
issued when 3rd party 40G and 100G optical devices are inserted. The restriction is lifted
when the “3rd Party Optics Feature License” license is installed.
Note
Purchase of an “EXOS 3rd Party Optics Feature License” seeks to enable the unrestricted use
of unapproved 3rd party 40G & 100G optical transceiver for the life of the switch.
The purchaser of the “EXOS 3rd Party Optics Feature License” is solely responsible for the use of optic
devices that are compliant with applicable standards and safety requirements. The use of noncompliant optic modules may result in damage to the equipment or personal injury. Extreme Networks
does not provide any warranty or compliance statement pertaining to any third party non-approved
Pluggable Hardware Installation Guide 9
Licensing Requirements
hardware, including unapproved 3rd party optic modules. See applicable hardware manual for more
detail of these requirements.
The EXOS 3rd Party 40G/100G Optics Licensing feature has the following caveats and restrictions:
The system reads and interprets the license information, and maintains a flag that indicates the
•
presence of the optics license.
When you insert the optical transceiver, if the 3rd Party optic license is installed no further action is
•
necessary.
If the device is an Extreme optical transceiver no further action is necessary.
•
If the optical transceiver is restricted, the system sets a flag, R.
•
If the optical transceiver is restricted, the system installs an egress rate limiter of 25% associated
•
with the port.
If the device is restricted, the system generates a warning EMS message that indicates the
•
restriction.
If you remove the optical transceiver, the following conditions occur:
•
The system unsets the flag that indicates a restriction in the port.
•
The system removes the egress rate limiter associated with the port, or restores a configured
•
one.
When you enable a port, the following conditions occur:
•
The system determines if the port is restricted.
•
The system generates a warning message to a console with restricted ports.
•
The system generates a warning EMS message that indicates a restriction.
•
When you enable a license, the system reads and interprets the new license information. If it
•
determines the optics license is now active, and it was not active before, the following conditions
occur:
Sets the “optics license” present flag.
•
Searches the port list for restricted ports.
•
Removes the egress rate limiter associated with the port, or restores a configured one.
•
Note
This feature requires you to coordinate with other Extreme corporate processes, including
how to generate a license generation and how to purchase a license

Optical Budget Calculation
Measure cable plant losses with a 1310 nm light source and verify this to be within budget.
When you calculate the maximum distance attainable using optical cable with a specified loss per
kilometer (for example 0.25 dB/km), Extreme Networks recommends that 3 dB of the total budget be
reserved for losses induced by cable splices or connectors, and operating margin. There is no minimum
system budget or minimum cable length restriction because the maximum receive power is the same
as the maximum transmit power. There is no minimum attenuation or minimum cable length restriction.

•
Optical Budget Calculation
The 100FX/1000LX SFP module complies with the 100FX-SMF standard.
To use the 100FX/1000LX SFP module in 100FX-MMF operation, a minimum attenuation of 6 dB is
required. After the SFP module is installed, connect a 6-dB attenuator to the transmitter side (Tx) of
the SFP module. Next, connect the attenuator to the single-mode end of a mode conditioning patch
cord. The mode conditioning patch cord transitions the SFP module from SMF to MMF operation.
When in SMF operation, 100FX-SMF or 1000LX, measure cable plant losses with a 1310 nm light source
and verify this to be within budget. When you calculate the maximum distance attainable using optical
cable with a specified loss per kilometer (for example 0.25 dB/km), Extreme Networks recommends
that 3 dB of the total budget be reserved for losses induced by cable splices or connectors and
operating margin.
Note
The 100FX/1000LX SFP module detects link status based only on the presence of light in the
receive cable. Therefore, if a single strand is broken, the link partner on the other port will not
detect link down.
For technical specifications for the 100FX/1000LX SFP, see Technical Specifications.
LX100 SFP Module
The LX100 SFP module provides a 1000BASE-X optical link up to 100km long using LC connectors and

Caution
In cases where there are more than six available ports, only 50% of the available ports on the
switch should be populated when using the SFP+ ZR optic. Populate the ports so that there is
one empty port for every two vertical ports to evenly distribute the occupied ports.
Warning
To prevent permanent damage to the ZR SFP+ and other equipment: always check the
optical input power of the receiver before inserting the fiber. The maximum optical input
power for the receiver is -7 dBm. If you use optical loopback for diagnostics purposes, the
loopback requires a minimum of 15 dB optical attenuation. The recommended attenuation
range is 15 dB to 20dB.
For optical budget calculation measure cable plant losses with a 1550 nm light source and verify this to
be within budget. When you calculate the maximum distance attainable using optical cable with a
specified loss per kilometer (for example, 0.25 dB/km), Extreme Networks recommends that you
reserve 3 dB of the total budget for losses induced by cable splices or connectors and operating
margin. A minimum system budget or attenuation is required to prevent saturation of the receiver.
For technical specifications for the ZR SFP+, see Technical Specifications.

Prepare to Install or Replace an SFP Module
Complete the following tasks before inserting the SFP module:
1 Inspect and clean the fiber tips, coupler, and connectors.
2 Prepare and clean an external attenuator, if needed.
3 When handling fiber cables, take the following precautions to prevent damage to the cables:
a Do not stretch the fiber.
b Make sure the bend radius of the fiber is not less than 2 inches (5.08 cm).
4 Extreme Networks recommends the following guidelines when installing or replacing SFP modules
on an active network:
a Use the same type of SFP module at each end of the link, except for the 1000BASE-BX and
100BSE-BX bi-directional SFP modules. The bi-directional SFP modules include a D-type and a
U-type. You must use one D-type SFP and one U-type SFP together to allow for a single fiber
bidirectional connection.
b Connect one end of the link to the Tx port. Without an attenuator, measure the total loss from
the Tx port to the other site of the link. The total loss must not exceed the total optical system
budget.
