Collecting SFP data (stand-up adapters)

This section provides an overview of BCU commands and HCM features that provide information on
small form factor pluggable (SFP) transceivers.

SFP properties

BCU and HCM provide detailed information on the SFP transceiver for a selected port, such as its
health status, port speed, connector type, minimum and maximum distance, as well as details on
the extended link.
Displaying SFP properties through BCU
Use the diag --sfpshow BCU command to display detailed attributes for a specific SFP transceiver.
diag --sfpshow <port_id>

form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver.
1. Launch the HCM.
2. Select a port in the device tree.
3. Click the SFP tab in the right pane.

Predictive optical monitoring (POM)

Use the POM field in the port properties panel to monitor the SFP attributes. A notification is given
for any parameters that are not within the power, temperature, voltage, and current specifications.
To display this panel, use the following steps.
