Huawei Switch Optical Port Power

Displaying Optical Module Information

When the current optical module power is between the upper and lower thresholds, the optical power is normal. When the current optical power exceeds the upper alarm threshold, a high optical power

Huawei Optical Switch View Optical Module Commands

Taking the Huawei 5700 series switches as an example, the commands to view optical module information are as follows:

Optical Module Solutions for Huawei S5700/S5720 Series Switches

This article summarizes several solutions for using optical modules with switches and common problems encountered during usage, along with specific solutions.

S5720-52X-SI-48S

The electrical and optical ports of a combo port are multiplexed, and only one of them can work at a time. When one of the Ethernet ports is working, the other port is shut down.

Huawei CloudEngine S5735-S-V2 Series Hybrid Optical-Electrical

With powerful aggregation and routing capabilities of CloudEngine S5735-S-V2 series hybrid optical-electrical switches make them suitable for use as core switches in a small-scale enterprise network.

Optical Fiber

To connect a fiber, align the optical connector with the optical port and gently insert the optical fiber into the port. To remove a fiber, press the clip on the connector and pull the fiber out.

Checking TX / RX optical power for Huawei Switches and Routers

Here is an example on how to query or display optical power of an interface in a Huawei Router. This is tested using NetEngine40E Universal Service Router or NE40E running version 8.x OS.

How To Read Optical Module Information On Huawei Switches

The following uses the Moduletek SFP-10G-LR module connected to a Huawei S6700 switch as an example to introduce how to read information of the connected optical module on a Huawei switch.

Huawei Switches Viewing Optical Port Receiving and Sending

Use the command display transceiver to view the optical module information of all optical ports, and use the command display transceiver interface interface-type interface-number to view the

FAQs About Optical Modules

To prevent such damage, reduce the transmit power of the optical module on the remote port or use optical attenuators on the link between the local and remote ends.
