M6100 - 3rd Party SFP Support

Hi All,

 

Is there a way to configure an M6100 to accept 3rd party SFP's?  Currently if we use anything other than branded NetGear SFP's it automatically disables the port.

 

Thanks

    SteelyTop,

     

    Welcome to the community! :) 

     

    There is no option to configure the M6100 switch to accept any 3rd party SFP/SFP+ module.
