opticstool

To check the presence or absence of optic devices, link status, and to read data from the optic devices’ EEPROM, use the opticstool.

Tests

There are no tests on the optic devices. You can run a brief report that displays the optic presence or shows simple data, such as the serial number and device type. For more detailed information, use a device report.

      opticstool -h
 Show port and optics status:=
      opticstool --show[=brief] [--int=<interface>]                                      (or)
      opticstool -x[=brief] [-I <interface>]
 Execute repeatedly command by count:=
      opticstool --iteration=max/<count> [option1] [option2]...                          (or)
      opticstool -I max/<count> [option1] [option2]...

opticstool -w -i <interface> -p <page #> -i <offset> -V <value>
Usage:
      -h, --h           Show the help text
      -x, --show=       Show operation
      -F, --int         Interface ID
      -I, --iteration=  Iteration command execution
      -r, --read        Read operation
      -w, --write       Write operation
  • show —Shows information about the optic devices. With the brief option, only the ID and presence displays. Without the brief option, more details display, such as the serial number and device type. If you specify an interface, more detail displays about that device by reading the EEPROM.
