3 Installing transceivers and attaching cables

4.Verify the Brocade DCX 8510-4 and connector and port status using the switchShow -qsfpcommand.

A sample of the command output is shown below. The example is from a DCX 8510-4 with a core blade installed in slot 3. Some details for the 8510-8 will be different, but the reported information for the QSFPs will be similar.

Note that the State reported for an unconnected QSFP (shown QSFP 0 and Ports 0-3 below) is No_SigDet. This is different from the State of No_Synch that is reported for regular SFPs that are unconnected.

QSFP 7 (ports 3/28-3/31, Index 748-751) in the following example shows the results for a connected QSFP.
