CirrusDoes F5 rSeries 4600 support 3rd Party SFP
Does F5 rSeries 4600 support 3rd Party SFP ? My customer connecting from rseries 4600 to Brocade sw and has Brocade SFP ( 10GE SR ).
Question is if F5 supports connecting these SFPs ? Are Brocade SFPs compatible with rSeries 4600 ?

Officially no it's not supported https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K8153
Unofficially it might work, even with some warnings.
But if I was you I wouldn't take the risk- Paulius

Officially they don't but you can. I will say that every time you experience any connectivity related issues and you aren't using official SFPs the response will most likely come back as change the SFPs first.
f5SubrunThank you. How can I check which 10G SFP will support for rSeries 4600 so we can buy ?
Like how to know SFP Part number ? so my sales can order F5 SFP.

But also your local F5 partner or F5 representative will be able to help you with this.
