SFP and Power Monitoring in Port Status View
Some optional columns are available in the status view to obtain general information about SFPs
and to monitor the transmit and receive power for ports. These columns only display if you select
them by customizing the columns as described above. The default is to not display SFP diagnostic
fields.
The columns shown under
SAS or copper SFPs, or the field may be blank.
The columns shown under
are available for each of the four 40G ports in an Xgig1000 chassis.
Power levels can indicate if signal levels are not strong or have degraded due to the
optical-electrical-optical pass-through process when the signal is passed through multiple
analyzers or taps.
SFP diagnostic status fields take some time to show values. Allow at least 5 seconds for values to
display in these columns, especially if you have many ports in the domain.
SFP RxPower
Shows the current power level for the receive port on the SFP. If no power level is reported by the
SFP, this field will show
SFP TxPower
Shows the current power level for the transmit port on the SFP. If no power level is reported by the
SFP, this field will show
SFP Make
Shows the vendor name of the SFP for each port. If no vendor is reported by the SFP, this field is
blank.
SFP Model
Shows the model number of the SFP for each port. If no model number is reported by the SFP, this
field is blank.
