My generic question is: Can you mix switches on the opposite sides of a fibre link, or more accurately different manufactuors tranceivers.
We just bought several new HP ProCurve v1810 series switches (J9450A and J9660A) and the correct HP fibre SFP's (J4858C).
We have old existing HP ProCurve 2124 (J4868A) and 2324 (J4818A)'s with non SFP fibre connections (using SC connectors i think) which i'm going to get different patch leads (ST-LC) to connect to the newer switches.
But we also have a newer fibre link setup with small Level1 4 port & 1 SFP switches (GSW-0508) with their SFP.
With the Level1 switch+SFP work if plugged into a HP ProCurve V1810+SFP via fibre?
I understand about the problems with mix+matching SFP's
