Configuring optical monitoring
2
You can view the XFP optical monitoring information using the show optic command as displayed in
the following.
For Temperature, Tx Power, Rx Power, and Tx Bias Current, values are displayed along with one of
the following status values: Low-Alarm, Low-Warn, Normal, High-Warn or High-Alarm. The
thresholds that determine these status values are set by the manufacturer of the XFPs.
Table 7
describes each of these status values.
When the show optic command is issued on a BR-MLX-100GX interface card, the following
conditions apply.
• The temperature is averaged over all lanes.
• TX bias, RX power and RX power are aggregate values.
NOTE
This function takes advantage of information stored and supplied by the SFP or XFP device. This
information is an optional feature of the Multi-Source Agreement standard defining the SFP or XFP
interface. Not all component suppliers have implemented this feature set. In such cases where the
SFP or XFP device does not supply the information, a “Not Available” message will be displayed for
the specific port that the device is installed
Displaying optical monitoring thresholds
To display information about the optical monitoring thresholds, enter the following command.
