Reading internal transceiver parameters helps monitor link connectivity, optical power, temperature and coding compatibility between transceivers and Palo Alto firewalls. This document uses Moduletek SFP-10G-LR transceiver connected to Palo Alto PA-850 firewall to demonstrate parameter query steps.
Figure 1 Schematic Diagram of Transceiver Connected to Firewall
1. View Port Link Status
Run the command:
show interface ethernet <interface-number>
It displays port speed and runtime link status. Runtime link Up means normal transceiver link operation. Traffic statistical data supports fault troubleshooting.
Note: interface-number refers to physical port ID. You can run show interface to view all ports. Omitting parameters will show information of all Ethernet interfaces.
2. Query Transceiver Identification & Check Device Diagnostic Parameters
Run the command:
show transceiver-detail ethernet <interface-number>
It contains module identity data and diagnostic parameter information.
1. Module details: Model, vendor, serial number, transmission distance, etc.
2. Diagnostic data: Parameter values and corresponding threshold ranges.
Special Note: The displayed diagnostic values are fixed preset parameters inside the firewall, not real-time dynamic DDM monitoring data. Values remain unchanged after replacing optical transceivers.
Moduletek provides various optical transceivers compatible with Palo Alto firewalls. Welcome to inquire and purchase.
