I have a 4200 series switch with an empty sfp port, and existing unused fiber run (62.5nm multimode) to another building that I hope to bring up, with a 1000base-SX connection on the other end. Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding a 3Com branded sfp for it via my usual sources, and I'm wondering if the switch will support a generic sfp.
Based on a prior question I know that the hardware should be capable, but it will come down to whether or not 3com chose to lock down their switches to only work with 3Com SFPs. I can't find any documentation on this - does anyone know whether the 3Com switch is likely to work with an off-brand sfp?
