3 Collecting SFP data (stand-up adapters) 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 where: port_id ID of the port for which you want to display SFP attributes. This could be the PWWN, port hardware path, or user-specified port name. This could also be the adapter-index/port-index. For example, to specify adapter 1, port 1, you would use 1/1 as the port identification. Initiating SFP properties through HCM Launch the port SFP properties dialog box as follows to display properties for a selected small 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. 1. Select a port in the device tree. 2. Click the Properties tab in the right pane. 98 Brocade Adapters Troubleshooting Guide 53-1002145-01

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>
where:
port_id
ID of the port for which you want to display SFP attributes. This could be the
PWWN, port hardware path, or user-specified port name. This could also be
the adapter-index/port-index. For example, to specify adapter 1, port 1, you
would use 1/1 as the port identification.
Initiating SFP properties through HCM
Launch the port
SFP
properties dialog box as follows to display properties for a selected small
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.
1.
Select a port in the device tree.
2.
Click the
Properties
tab in the right pane.
