I have these transceivers from FS.com and I want to use them in an ICX 6610. However, they're not detected. Apparently earlier Brocade switches didn't support BiDi modules. So I wanted to modify the EEPROM to show up as a duplex transceiver. I have a Banana Pi R4 board with SFP+ cages. However...
I'm also having this issue with BiDi transceivers, even with the flag set.

Supposedly, the transceiver EEPROM can be reprogrammed to report as a duplex transceiver and the switch would detect it. My only board with an SFP+ connection is a BPi-R4 running OpenWRT and it doesn't look like the MTK driver supports dumping or modifying the EEPROM or registers...
LR has no minimum distance though, so it should be fine in that regard. Yeah, SR LC UPC Duplex does make more sense but I needed white cables and happened to have some white simplex fiber lying around from a previous installation, so decided to buy the BiDi transceivers. I couldn't really find...
I have an ICX 6610 with the 10G SFP+ ports enabled, and I'm trying to use these http://fs.com/products/42385.html transceivers, but when I plug them in nothing is detected. Are these incompatible?
