Digital optical monitoring

NOTE
10 Gbps optical transceivers are not supported on ICX 6430 devices.
You can configure your device to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally or by
specified port. When this feature is enabled, the system monitors 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 SFP and SFP+
manufacturer's recommended thresholds. For more information about digital optical monitoring,
refer to the FastIron Ethernet Switch Security Configuration Guide.

Testing connectivity

Test for connectivity by observing the LEDs related to network connection.

Pinging an IP address

To verify that an ICX 6430 or ICX 6450 device can reach another device through the network, enter
a command similar to the following at any level of the CLI.
Brocade> ping 10.33.4.7
Syntax: ping ip addr [source ip addr] [count num] [timeout msec] [ttl num] [verify] [no-fragment]
NOTE
If you address the ping to the IP broadcast address, the device lists the first four responses.

Observing LEDs

After you install the network cables, you can observe certain LEDs to determine if the network
connections are functioning properly.
connections, the desired state of each LED, possible abnormal states of each LED, and what to do
if an LED indicates an abnormal state.

If the other procedures do not resolve the problem, try using a different port or a different
cable.
If a 1-Gbps optic transceiver is inserted into a ICX 6450 device, you must configure the port
using the speed-duplex 1000-full-master command at the interface level.
