Large percent of LR4 100G optics failing
I am an operations engineer in a datacenter, we have a lot of leaf switches going to NVidia spine switches, aggregating to 400G uplinks. We have had over 100 Cisco optics fail this past quarter, which has been annoying, anyone else notice something similar in PROD? Specifically the QSFP-100G-FR-S. My guess is that we are getting positive DB, these are FR optics, going maybe, 20M between p2p. The 400Gs might just be blasting those poor Cisco optics to oblivion. Otherwise I am just thinking failed FW updates or crap hardware, I went to the Cisco community forums, no one could give me an answer, maybe someone here? Thanks!
Note, sorry in the title I meant FR, not LR4, thanks.
