Diagnostics quick mode

The diagnostics quick mode flag enables you to choose the diagnostic test behavior during boot.
You can enable quick mode boot tests or all the diagnostic tests. The impact to boot time is 15–20
seconds when all diagnostic tests run during startup.
The diagnostic quick mode is disabled by default.
For detailed information about diagnostics quick mode, see Configuring System Monitoring on
Avaya Virtual Services Platform 7000 Series, NN47202–505.

SFP DDI information

SFP Digital Diagnostic Interface (DDI), also known as digital optical monitoring (DOM) or digital
diagnostics monitoring (DDM) gives the end user the ability to monitor real-time parameters of the
SFP(+), such as optical output power, optical input power, temperature, laser bias current, and
transceiver supply voltage and also to receive warnings and alarms regarding current operating
status of the transceiver.
Calibration and alarm/warning threshold data is written during device manufacture. There is also an
operating status field that checks the alarm/warning bits and returns the adequate operating status.
Measurements are calibrated over vendor specified operating temperature and voltage. Alarm and
warning threshold values should be interpreted in the same manner as real time 16 bit data.
The Digital Diagnostic Interface (DDI) feature collects data and monitors alarms and warnings on all
the supported SFP, SFP+, and GBIC transceivers. The DDI collects the following information:
• SFP vendor information (including type, wavelength, vendor name, vendor revision/serial,
hardware options, CLEI code, and Product Code)
• DDI support information
• DDI alarm and warning threshold values
• temperature
• supply voltage
• transmit bias current
• TX/RX optical power
• transmit power
• receive power measurement
• transceiver calibration
This functionality is supported from the moment the switch finishes its initialization.
