This article explains how to find details about a transceiver inserted in Dell EMC Networking X series switches like SFP type, Transmission Fault, Loss of Signal etc.
 

Procedure

This KB is applicable only if you are using Dell EMC qualified transceiver compatible with this device.

 
Step 1: Log in to the switch using web interface. Check dashboard for port status.
 

Step 2: Click Statistics and Diagnostics - > Diagnostics.
 

Step 3: Click Optical Transceiver Diagnostics. Check the interface that you would like to diagnose.






The Optical Transceiver Diagnostics page displays the operating conditions reported by the SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) transceiver.

This image above displays the following fields:

Port—Port number and description on which the SFP is connected.
Transmitter Qualification — Whether fiber optic wire is supported by Dell.
Temperature (in C) — Temperature (Celsius) at which the SFP is operating.
Voltage (in V) — SFP's operating voltage.
Current (in A) — SFP's current consumption.
Output Power (in W) —Transmitted optical power.
Input Power (in W) — Received optical power.
Transmitter Fault — Remote SFP reports signal loss. Values are True,False, and No Signal (N/S).
Loss of Signal — Local SFP reports signal loss. Values are True and False.
Data Ready — SFP is operational. Values are True and False.
