I have some 10G SPF+ modules installed that currently have no connections on them; but they are perpetually complaining of inadequate levels. Is this to be expected? The 1G ones never did that.
Note that when they ARE actually connected to something, the error message goes away.

(This on a 4506E or 4507E-R supervisor 8E )
Is there a way to mask these errors, other than setting the system logging level "too high" ?
