Juniper does not officially support third-party pluggable SFP, SFP+ or XFP optics because they are not fully qualified and tested with Juniper equipment and their quality cannot be guaranteed. This is a company-wide policy. XFPs/SFPs have a lot of information encoded in their memory, which JUNOS will read, and will attempt to parse, as long as their programming follows the MSA SFP/XFP spec.

However, unlike other vendors, we do not disable non-Juniper modules to prevent them from working; assuming a module meets industry specifications it should work. If issues arise.

Currently Juniper is not recommending any software to support all the Non juniper SFP's but it is in roadmap.

From 9.3 there is a Master check in place to check the SFP's before the switch detects the SFP to make sure SFP works properly after the switch detects the SFP.
