Transceiver Performance Monitoring

Transceiver Performance Monitoring Overview

The Transceiver Performance Monitoring and Enhanced Diagnostics enables viewing the Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) parameters for the optics that support enhanced diagnostics. Use the show commands to view the instantaneous values for various PAM4 parameters such as Signal-To-Noise Ratio, Residual Inter Symbol Interference, PAM4 Level Transition Parameters, and other parameters supported on optics interfaces.

Using the Performance Monitoring feature allows EOS to collect and maintain certain performance statistics over a user-defined time. EOS stores data for two intervals: the current interval and the most recently completed interval. When the current interval ends, EOS saves the data as the previous interval so a new current interval can start, and the old previous interval data discarded.

Configuring Transceiver Performance Monitoring

EOS enables the Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) on all interfaces and you cannot disable the feature.

EOS disables Performance Monitoring on all interfaces by default. Use the performance-monitoring transceiver default configuration command to enable Performance Monitoring on all interfaces across the system.
switch(config)# performance-monitoring transceiver default

 

Enable Performance Monitoring on a per interface basis using the performance-monitoring transceiver configuration command.
switch(config)# interface Ethernet8/1
switch(config-if-Et8/1)# performance-monitoring transceiver

 

Configure the Performance Monitoring period using the performance-monitoring period <period> configuration command.
switch(config)# performance-monitoring period 60s

 

Thecommand configures the performance monitoring period to 60 seconds across the system. This command supports configuring the performance monitoring period in units of either seconds, minutes, hours or days. For example, use performance-monitoring period 30 minutes to configure the period as 30 minutes, performance-monitoring period 2 hours to configure the period as 2 hours and so on. The default performance-monitoring period is 15 minutes.

Use the no form of these commands to revert the configuration.

100GBASE-FR, 100GBASE-LR and 100GBASE-DR do not have thresholds for enhanced Digital Optical Monitoring (DOM) parameters, so these parameters and their thresholds do not display in the output of show interfaces transceiver dom thresholds command.

The Indicator column in the output above gives an indication of where the value lies with respect to the threshold. No output displays when the parameter falls in the expected range between the Low Warn and High Warn thresholds. If the value becomes greater than or equal to the High Alarm or less than or equal to the Low Alarm, ALARM displays in the output. If the value becomes greater than or equal to the High Warn (but less than the High Alarm) or less than or equal to the Low Warn (but greater than the Low Alarm), WARN displays in the output.

Use the show interfaces transceiver performance-monitoring command to display the performance monitoring statistics from the CLI. This command displays data only if you enable the feature using the configuration command transceiver performance-monitoring.

  • Performance Monitoring Period: 0:15:00 - Indicates the length of one Performance Monitoring period. 0:15:00 specifies a period of 15 minutes, the default value for this parameter. The Performance Monitoring period can be configured using the performance-monitoring period configuration command.
  • Started: 0:00:12 ago - Indicates the time the host started the performance monitoring interval.
  • Last Update: 0:00:02 ago - Indicates the last time the host read the diagnostic parameters from the module. The host samples values every six seconds.
  • Pre-FEC BER avg, Uncorrected BER avg - The average The average Bit Error Rate (BER) before Forward Error Correction (FEC) value so far in the indicated performance monitoring interval.
  • Pre-FEC BER min, Uncorrected BER min - The minimum BER value so far in the indicated performance monitoring interval.
  • Pre-FEC BER max, Uncorrected BER max - The maximum BER value so far in the indicated performance monitoring interval.
  • Pre-FEC BER high warn exceeded, Uncorrected BER high warn exceeded, Pre-FEC BER high alarm exceeded, Uncorrected BER high alarm exceeded - The number of times the host read a value which was greater than the indicated threshold. The host reads values and checks exceeded thresholds every six seconds. This provides only an indication of the actual exceeded count.
  • Temperature warn exceeded, Temperature alarm exceeded - The number of times the host read a value which was outside the range of the indicated threshold. The host reads values and checks exceeded thresholds every six seconds. This provides only an indication of the actual exceeded count.

The show interfaces transceiver performance-monitoring thresholds command displays the performance monitoring statistics and their thresholds from the CLI. This command only displays data only if the feature has been enabled using the configuration command performance-monitoring transceiver.

  • Performance Monitoring Period: 0:15:00 - Indicates the length of one performance monitoring period. 0:15:00 specifies a period of 15 minutes, the default time period. Use the performance-monitoring period period command to configure the performance monitoring period.
  • Started: 0:00:12 ago - Indicates the time that the host started the performance monitoring interval.
  • Last Update: 0:00:02 ago - Indicates the last reading of the diagnostic parameter by the host. The host samples data every six (6) seconds.
  • Pre-FEC BER avg, Uncorrected BER avg - The average Bit Error Rate (BER) before Forward Error Correction (FEC) value in the indicated performance monitoring interval calculated by the host.
  • Pre-FEC BER min, Uncorrected BER min - The minimum BER value in the indicated performance monitoring interval calculated by the host.
  • Pre-FEC BER max, Uncorrected BER max - The maximum BER value in the indicated performance monitoring interval calculated by the host.

The show interfaces interface transceiver performance-monitoring thresholds command can be used to display the performance monitoring statistics and thresholds from the CLI. This command displays data only if you enable performance monitoring on the switch.

Command Output

Performance Monitoring Period: 0:15:00

This indicates the length of one Performance Monitoring period. 0:15:00 specifies a period of 15 minutes, which is the default value for this parameter. The Performance Monitoring period can be configured using the performance-monitoring period configuration command as described in the Configuration section.

 

Started: 0:00:12 ago

This indicates the time the host started the performance monitoring interval.

 

Last Update: 0:00:02 ago

This indicates the last time the host read the diagnostic parameters from the module. The host samples values every six seconds.

 

Pre-FEC BER avg, Uncorrected BER avg

This is the average value so far in the indicated performance monitoring interval.

 

Pre-FEC BER min, Uncorrected BER min

This is the minimum value so far in the indicated performance monitoring interval.

 

Pre-FEC BER max, Uncorrected BER max

This is the maximum value so far in the indicated performance monitoring interval.

 

Pre-FEC BER high warn exceeded, Uncorrected BER high warn exceeded, Pre-FEC BER high alarm exceeded, Uncorrected BER high alarm exceeded

This is the number of times the host read a value which was greater than the indicated threshold. The host reads values and checks exceeded thresholds every 6 seconds. Please note that this provides only an indication of the actual exceeded count.

 

Temperature warn exceeded, Temperature alarm exceeded

This is the number of times the host read a value which was outside the range of the indicated threshold. The host reads values and checks exceeded thresholds every six seconds. Note that this provides only an indication of the actual exceeded count.
