Response: Extreme Charges License Fee When Using OEM SFPs, Limits Bandwidth
Extreme Network now charges a license fee for ports that have 40G/100G OEM or third party SFPs installed. If you don't purchase a license within 90 days, it will limit bandwidth to 25%. How crappy is that ? Hiding the full price of the switch in SFP pricing strategies is a dumb idea that all the vendors have, what about simply being honest and calling it what it is - a per-port licensing fee designed to extract more revenue from a shrinking market.
