SG500X: CLI command to show SFP type ? (like sh int status on IOS switches)

[Alpha-Linux]

Hi

is there a CLI command to display the SFP model/type inserted in ports ?

on ios switches, there are several commands to show this information

i have some SFPH10GB-CU3M and SFP-10G-SR and want to see from remote in what slot they are inserted.

regards

the show interface capabilities command will show you the SFP that is installed

r_h, I see no such command on this switch..

on the SG500X-24 running 1.3.7.18 there's no "sh int capabilities"

Hello,

You should be able to run a show inventory <port> and get a description of the SFP back, similair to the example below:

switchxxxxxx #show inventory gigabitethernet 2/1/49
NAME: "GigabitEthernet2/1/49", DESCR: "1000M base-LX Mini-GBIC SFP Transceiver"
PID: MGBLX1,VID: V01, SN: AGC1525UR7G
 

There is also the show fiber-port optical-transceiver command, but that is more of a diagnostic for when the fiber is connected, it doesn't show the SFPs model number like the above command does.

Hope that helps,

I just confirmed this command works, but would point out that the command does not exist on some older firmware.  It does exist on 1.3.7.18.

Hi

it does not work for int te1/1 and te1/2 when using SFPH10GB-CU3M.

running software 1.3.7.18 (boot 1.3.7.1) on SG500X

Hello,

I can confirm that this command does not seem to work for the SFPH10GB-CU3M.  I am not sure if this is by design since those are proprietary stack cables or just an oversight.  I went ahead and raised the issue, when I hear back from L2 I will update here as well.

Thank you,

Hi

The SFP-H10GB-CU3M and the SFP-10G-SR are supported by the SG500X platform since they are listed under Accessories (Stacking Options and Modules).

Would be nice when we could read out this data.

seems this isn't fixed with SW 1.4.7.6 yet right?

Hi, try these 2 commands :

* show inventory (if 3rd party module, maybe nothing will be shown, if Cisco module, you'll get info for sure)

* show fiber-ports optical-transceiver (info about performance of optical fiber module)

N.B. : Update to the last firmware/ software and the bootcode

May help you. Bye.
