Brocade unsupported transceiver?

No one knows of such a command and apparently the VDX line is finicky with what passive DACs they'll work with. I just ordered more of the ones I know that work. 

Tangent: Is it normal for these guys to still transmit light even when the interface is shut?

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?
