Overview: Optics packages and optical transceiver modules
For your F5 platform to support newer optical transceiver modules, you must be running the latest version of the optics package for that platform.
Before you use optical transceiver modules with your 100G-capable platforms, you must update the system to the latest version of the optics package provided by F5.
When you run an optics package installation process, traffic on the system being updated is disrupted. During the installation process, you are prompted to confirm that you are aware of this action before the installation can proceed.
