Hey all,

Depends on the model of your switch and the IOS of your switch however the command "show interface status" may fit the bill.

that CMD only shows if the device is an LX or an SX not what type of module it is

thanks anyway

You can try a 'show inventory'

Also use http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/interfaces_modules/transceiver_modules/compatibility/matrix/OL_6981.html to find out the GBIC/SFP model if the show interface tells you LX/SX etc

Hi,

In all switches the GBIC type is shown with the "show interface x/y" command. i.e.

Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, link type is auto, media type is 1000BaseSX --> 1000BaseSX is a GBIC type itself.

Another command in a Catalyst 4500 would be "show idprom interface x/y":

GBIC Serial EEPROM Contents:
Common Block:
Identifier        = GBIC [0x1]
Extended Id       = Not specified/compliant with defined MOD_DEF [0x0]
Connector         = SC connector [0x1]
Transceiver
  Type             = Gbic 1000BaseSX
  Speed(FC,byte 10)= 100 MBytes/Sec  [0x1]
  Media            = Multi-mode, 50u (M5) Multi-mode, 62.5u (M6)  [0xC]
  Technology       = Shortwave laser w/o OFC (SN)  [0x40]

"show transceiver interface x/y" is another useful command when available.

Hope this helps.
