Digital optical monitoring
You can configure your Brocade device to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally
or by specified ports. When this feature is enabled, the system will monitor the temperature and
signal power levels for the optical transceivers in the specified ports. Console messages and
Syslog messages are sent when optical operating conditions fall below or rise above the XFP or SFP
manufacturer recommended thresholds.

Configuration limitations

A Dell chassis device can monitor a maximum of 24 SFPs and 12 XFPs.

Enabling digital optical monitoring

To enable optical monitoring on all Dell-qualified optics installed in the device, use the following
command.
PowerConnect(config)#optical-monitor
To enable optical monitoring on a specific port, use the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#interface ethernet 1/1
PowerConnect(config-if-e10000-1/1)#optical-monitor
To enable optical monitoring on a range of ports, use the following command.
PowerConnect(config)#interface ethernet 1/1 to 1/2
PowerConnect(config-mif-e10000-1/1-1/2)#optical-monitor
Syntax: [no] optical-monitor
