2. On-Switch Identification Test
        The QSFP28-100G-LR4 module was installed into a Nokia 7250 switch. The module achieved normal LINK status with the port indicator illuminated. The switch correctly identified complete module information, including module type, part number, and serial number. DOM data was readable, with all values within the normal threshold range and no alarms reported.
