If you have a Dell Powerconnect switch and are using SFP or SFP+ optics from Fiberstore, I'd like you to run a brief test for me. Do a "show fiber-ports optical-transceiver" and let me know if you get results from any of the Fiberstore optics. The model of switch and firmware version it is running will also be needed.
Fiberstore says "nobody else is having this problem" (which is what they've always told me about anything). Hopefully that is the case. Here, giving that command hangs the switch CLI until it either times out or all of the Fiberstore optics are removed. The switch does keep processing packets as usual during this time, so it is just an annoyance, not an outage.
Edit: This has been fixed - see followup below.
