SFP monitoring guidelines and default settings
The SFP class groups areas that monitor the physical aspects of SFPs. An SFP class alarm alerts
you to an SFP malfunction fault. SFP performance monitoring is not supported on VE_Ports.
When a port goes offline, the RXP and TXP area values of the SFP become zero. Brocade
recommends non-zero low thresholds for RXP and TXP; therefore, Fabric Watch stops monitoring
RXP and TXP parameters of the SFP once the port goes offline.
SFP class areas
Table 7 lists Product Name areas in the SFP class and describes each area. Although it is
recommended that you leave the entire SFP class in its default state (no alerts), you can configure
the SFP class using the thConfig command.
NOTE
SFPs connected to GbE ports are not monitored.
TABLE 7 SFP class areas
Area Description
Temperature Measures the physical temperature of the SFP, in degrees Celsius. A high temperature
indicates that the SFP might be in danger of damage.
Receive power
(RXP)
Measures the amount of incoming laser, in µwatts, to help determine if the SFP is in good
working condition. If the counter often exceeds the threshold, the SFP is deteriorating.
Transmit power
(TXP)
Measures the amount of outgoing laser, in µwatts. Use this to determine the condition of the
SFP. If the counter often exceeds the threshold, the SFP is deteriorating.
Current Measures the amount of supplied current to the SFP transceiver. Current area events
indicate hardware failures.
Voltage Measures the amount of voltage supplied to the SFP. If this value exceeds the threshold, the
SFP is deteriorating.
