Tunable 10 GbE DWDM SFP+
NOTE
Tunable 10 GbE DWDM SFP+ are only supported on NetIron CES and NetIron CER 4x10G models
only.
The tunable 10 GbE dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) SFP+ modular optic (part
number 10G-SFPP-ZRD-T) can be configured through the CLI to use C-band channels 1 - 102 for
flexible metro or campus Ethernet links that reach up to 80 km.
For 10-Gigabit Ethernet DWDM interfaces only, configure full C-band tunable optics as shown
below.
To configure a physical port, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1)# tunable-optic sfpp channel 5
Syntax: tunable-optic sfpp channel
To configure a LAG port, enter a command such as the following.
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1)# physical-port 1/1 tunable-optic sfpp channel 5
Brocade(config-lag-lag1)# physical-port 1/1 tunable-optic sfpp channel 5 show
Channel 5: 191.3THz, 1567.13nm
Syntax: physical-port
Use the channel number parameter to specify the channel number to use on the interface.
Possible values 0 through 102.
Use the show options to display the SFPP channel used on the interface.
Fiber optic connector cleaning
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module (SFP (mini-GBIC), SFP+, or
XFP) and the fiber cable connectors, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors each
time you disconnect and reconnect them. In particular, dust can accumulate in the connectors and
cause problems such as reducing the optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using the fiber-optic reel-type cleaner
that shipped with your device. You can also purchase this type of cleaner from the following web
site.

When not using an SFP, SFP+, or XFP connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.
