Zyxel or D-Link SFP module in HP Procurve Switch
Does anybody knows if an Zyxel's or D-Link's SFP module should work if mounted in a HP Procurve Switch ?
The HP documentation says that we must only use HP modules. Is it really true or is it a recommandation ?
Thank's

So if you are not using an old switch with old firmware, I would think you are out of luck with altenatives.
Personaly I have only tryed HP in HP with mixed results, as mentioned.

And if I use a new switch with a recent firmware, will it work with Zyxel or D-Link SFP modules ?

There is no certainty that SFP modules from other brand than HP will or will not work in HP Procurve switch.
Version A, J4858A or J4859A, of our GBIC's (sold by HP) wil not work in a new procurve switch, only in old switches.
A new switch would need a ..58B ..58C ..59B or ..59C to function.
