How to View Port Status and Optical Module Information in BM BLADE Switches

Time: 2024-11-06
        Optical modules work on the switch usually need to read the internal information of the module to understand its working status, such as module connectivity and real-time collection of light, temperature, etc., through the identification of the module information can be detected by the module and the switch's coding compatibility; so how to view the working status of the optical module in the process of use as well as the internal information?
        The following is an example of accessing IBM BLADE RackSwitch G8264 switch with  SFP-10G-LR optical module of Moduletek Limited to show you the specific operation of reading the accessed optical module information on IBM BLADE switch.

1. Status of the optical module
        Execute the command “show interfaces status port_number ” to view the interface information.
        The information output under this command includes interface rate, duplex mode, module link status, etc. Explanation: port_number is the interface rate, duplex mode, module link status, and so on.
        Explanation: port_number is the interface number where the module is located, if you don't know the interface number, you can not enter it, and the information of all interfaces will be output at this time.

2. Switch identification of module
        Execute the command “show interface port port_number transceiver details ” to view the identification information and digital diagnosis of the optical module on the interface.
        The output content under this command has two parts of information, one part is module identification information, including module type, model, vendor, serial number, certification, etc. Approve is shown as Approved, which indicates that the module is an IBM BLADE certified module; the other part of the information includes real-time data diagnostics, including temperature, voltage, transmitting and receiving light, and the status of “ NoFlt”. NoFlt” indicates that the DDM data is all normal, you can focus on this status to understand whether the optical module on both ends of the device working status is normal.
