User EXEC mode

Usage Guidelines

This command takes advantage of information stored and supplied by the manufacturer of the QSFP+, SFP, or SFP+ transceiver. This information is an optional feature of the Multi-Source Agreement standard defining the optical interface. Not all component suppliers have implemented this feature set. When the QSFP+, SFP, or SFP+ transceiver does not supply the information, a "Not Available" message is displayed for the specific port on which the module is installed.

When the show optic command is used without any further parameters, the optical monitoring status for all the ports present on the active unit and slave units is displayed.

DOM cannot be enabled for user disabled ports. When DOM is configured globally but a port is disabled by the user, the following appears in the output: "Optical monitoring is in progress, please try later".

The show optic command displays the following information:

Output field Description
Port The identifier for the physical port on the device where the optical transceiver is installed.
Temperature The operating temperature, in degrees Celsius, of the optical transceiver, followed by the alarm status.
Tx Power The transmit power signal, in decibels (dB), of the measured power referenced to one milliwatt (mW), followed by the alarm status.
Rx Power The receive power signal, in decibels (dB), of the measured power referenced to one milliwatt (mW), followed by the alarm status.
Tx Bias Current The transmit bias power signal, in milliamperes (mA), followed by the alarm status.
Voltage The current voltage.

For Temperature, Tx Power, Rx Power, and Tx Bias Current in the show optic command output, values are displayed along with one of the following alarm 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 optical transceivers. The following table describes each of these alarm status values.

Alarm Status Values

Status value Description
Low-Alarm The monitored level has dropped below the "low-alarm" threshold set by the manufacturer of the optical transceiver.
Low-Warn The monitored level has dropped below the "low-warn" threshold set by the manufacturer of the optical transceiver.
Normal The monitored level is within the "normal" range set by the manufacturer of the optical transceiver.
High-Warn The monitored level has climbed above the "high-warn" threshold set by the manufacturer of the optical transceiver.
High-Alarm The monitored level has climbed above the "high-alarm" threshold set by the manufacturer of the optical transceiver.
