When optical transceivers are used on switches, dedicated commands are required to check their operating status, parameters and internal data. We use Ciena XCVR-A10Y31 (SFP-GE-LX) transceiver on Ciena 3930 switch to demonstrate query operations.

1. Transceiver Operating Status
Run command
port show
It displays port speed type, transceiver link status, link duration and working speed.
2. Transceiver Identification Details
Run command
port xcvr show
It shows manufacturer, transceiver model, module type and connector type.
3. Transceiver DOM Diagnostic Data
First run command
port xcvr
to enter (port/xcvr) mode. Then run command
show port Port Name diagnostics
to view DOM data, including real-time temperature, voltage, bias current, TX/RX power, threshold values and threshold overflow alarm status.
Note: Port Name refers to the switch port number, which can be queried by port show.
