Any advise on compatible 40G QSFP+ direct attach cable would be greatly appreciated.<BR /> <BR /> We tried the one from HPE (FlexNetwork X240 40 Gbps QSFP+ to QSFP+ direct attach) without any luck (no signal and incompatibility warnings on the VDX side). 40G-QSFP-C-0101 from Brocade looked more promising with the signal present, and even successful Port-Channel formation, but no data was going through.<BR /> <BR /> Thank you.<BR /> Sat, 28 Jul 2018 17:34:00 GMT kaba1ahxxx__ 2018-07-28T17:34:00Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/data-center-vdx/40g-qsfp-connectivity-with-hpe-synergy-12000-vc-se-40gb-f8/m-p/6284#M176 Hello,<BR /> <BR /> Anyone here using HPE Synergy 12000 with VC SE 40Gb F8 module hooked into VDX (6740)?
