Identifying pluggable transceivers
As pluggable transceivers are of various types and from different vendors, you can use the following
commands to view the key parameters of the pluggable transceivers, including transceiver type,
connector type, central wavelength of the laser sent, transfer distance and vendor name or name of
the vendor who customizes the transceivers to identify the pluggable transceivers.
Follow these steps to identify pluggable transceivers:

z You can use the Vendor Name field in the prompt information of the display transceiver
command to identify an anti-spoofing pluggable transceiver customized by H3C. If the field is H3C,
it is considered an H3C-customized pluggable transceiver.
z Electrical label information is also called permanent configuration data or archive information,
which is written to the storage component of a card during device debugging or testing. The
information includes name of the card, device serial number, and vendor name or name of the
vendor who customizes the transceiver.
