Table 20 defines the fields shown in this output.
Digital optical monitoring
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 XFP, SFP, and
SFP+ manufacturer’s recommended thresholds. For more information about digital optical
monitoring, refer to PowerConnect B-FCX Series Configuration Guide.
