How To View Port Status And Optical Module Information In IBM Blade Switches

Time: 2024-11-06
        To grasp the operating state of optical transceivers on a switch, it is necessary to read their internal data, including link connectivity, real-time optical power, temperature, and voltage. By querying transceiver details, you can verify the coding compatibility between the transceiver and the switch. This document introduces how to check the operating status and internal data of transceivers during daily use.
        Taking the IBM Blade RackSwitch G8264 and Moduletek SFP-10G-LR optical transceiver as an example, this guide demonstrates the specific steps to query information of the connected transceiver on IBM Blade switches.

1. Check Transceiver & Interface Status
        Run the command:
            show interfaces status <port_number>
        This command displays key interface information, including interface speed, duplex mode, and transceiver link state.
        Note: <port_number> refers to the target interface number where the transceiver is inserted. If the interface number is unknown, omit this parameter, and the system will output status information for all ports.
2. View Transceiver Identification & DDM Diagnostic Information
       Run the command:
            show interface port <port_number> transceiver details
        The command output includes two core parts:
    • Transceiver Basic Identification Information
        This includes transceiver type, model, manufacturer, serial number, and certification status. A status of "Approved" indicates the transceiver is officially IBM Blade certified.
    • Real-Time DDM Diagnostic Data
        This monitors the transceiver’s operating temperature, supply voltage, transmit optical power, and receive optical power. A status of "NoFlt" indicates all DDM parameters are normal; you can focus on this status to confirm the operating condition of transceivers at both ends of the device.
