Supported DACs
The following tables show the supported direct attach cables (DAC) for VOSS.
Important:
The VSP switches operate in forgiving mode for QSFP+ direct attach cables (DAC), which
means that the switch will bring up the port operationally when using non-Avaya direct attach
cables. Avaya does not provide support for operational issues related to these DACs, but they
will operate and the port link will come up.
