Question raised on whether MX304 with LMIC16 supports 1G copper SFP optics, specifically PN 740-013111.
Confusion arose because MX301 (half of MX304, same chipset family as LMIC16) appears to support 1G Cooper SFP, suggesting LMIC16 might have equivalent support or scheduled qualification.
1G copper SFP (PN 740-013111 or equivalent) inserted into LMIC16 port on MX304 fails to come up / no link.
Sometimes chassis alarms reports Multiple PIC errors alarms
Interface stays down, no auto-negotiation, or PHY not detected
PHY could be detected but TX does not works.
Optic may be recognized at inventory level but link does not establish.
Behavior persists regardless of cable, peer device, or port selected on LMIC16
Same 1G Cu SFP works as expected on MX301 (or other platforms with Cooper-capable HW), reinforcing that the issue is LMIC16-specific and not optic/cable related
After installing 25.4R1 interface can work but we haven't qualified 1G Cooper SFP, so if it fails of have issues, Juniper/TAC may not support.

LMIC16 on MX304 does not support 1G copper SFP optics, including PN 740-013111
