yes you can issue these commands not seen any side effect on the production network.

I was in impressionn you did all work, you looking some confirmation.

So lets ask some quesiton it was not added

what is this device Model

[robertkwild]

its a cisco nexus 7000 with version 6.2.20

maybe that command just doesnt run on this version?

[balaji.bandi]

the command not global lelvel try interface level like example :

BB-Nexus(config)# Interface  ethernet1/9

BB-Nexus(config-if)# service unsupported-transceiver

Yes, but you sometimes you get what you pay for.  There's a SFP vendor starting with F and ending in ..ore that I have likely spend more in trips to repair and cost of outages than savings.... If everyone else cost 10x more +, there's a reason, i.e. QA/QC.  Weigh the risks and accept the SLA uptime/downtime results your business and carrier can afford.  Good luck.
