MikroTik devices support a wide range of SFP, SFP+, SFP28, QSFP+, and QSFP28 transceivers, including those from other vendors such as Cisco, provided they comply with the MSA standard . Cisco modules can work in MikroTik equipment because MikroTik only requires the standard MSA code fields to recognize the transceiver, such as data rate, wavelength, and vendor information . However, Cisco modules often include vendor-specific coding or a “vendor lock” key that is required for Cisco devices to recognize the module as genuine. MikroTik devices do not enforce this restriction, so Cisco modules can operate freely in MikroTik hardware . Conversely, MikroTik modules typically cannot be used in Cisco devices due to the absence of this vendor key .
In practice, Cisco optical modules can be used in MikroTik devices without major issues, provided the modules are standard-compliant and the MikroTik device is properly configured. Users should verify firmware versions, enable necessary FEC modes, and confirm link rates to ensure reliable operation. This approach allows integration of existing Cisco optics into a MikroTik-based network while maintaining performance and cost efficiency .
The partner is requesting a confirmation that their planned topology of using MikroTik with their Cisco Core switch will work fine and
