Digital Optical Monitoring
You can configure your Foundry device to monitor optical transceivers in the system, either globally
or by specified port. When this feature is enabled, the system monitors the temperature and signal
power levels for the optical transceivers in the specified ports. Console messages and syslog
messages are sent when optical operating conditions fall below or rise above the XFP or SFP
manufacturer’s recommended thresholds. For more information about digital optical monitoring,
refer to the
FastIron Configuration Guide
