Brocade unsupported transceiver?

Wed Mar 21 20:31:24 UTC 2018

I've had a few offlist responses looking for the same or about coded optics. 

I've been able to use Brocade -coded optics from FiberStore, but a DAC which should be universal (and passes the muster for the Intel NICs it's plugged into) returns, " 2018/03/21-15:14:00, [NSM-1028], 2679, DCE, ERROR, sw0, Incompatible SFP transceiver for interface TenGigabitEthernet 54/0/16 is detected." 

Unfortunately, show media doesn't help because the interface is offline.

Anyone know if there is a command in Brocade NOS (4.x) to force the use of an unsupported transceiver? If so, what is it?
