Configuring Optical Power Thresholds
Displaying Laser Safety Control Configuration
To display the laser safety control configuration of a w ave interface, use the following EXEC command:
Example
The following example shows how to display the laser safety control configuration f or an inte rface:
Switch# show interfaces wave 10/0
Wave10/0 is administratively up, line protocol is up
Channel: 25 Frequency: 195.1 Thz Wavelength: 1536.61 nm
Splitter Protected: Yes
Receiver power level: -10.0 dBm
Laser safety control: On
Forward laser control: Off
Osc physical port: No
Wavelength used for inband management: No
Configured threshold Group: None
Loopback not set
Last clearing of "show interface" counters never
Hardware is data_only_port
Configuring Optical Power Thresholds
Optical power thresholds provide a means of monitoring the signal power from the ITU laser. Four types
of thresholds are provided:
•Low alarm
•Low warning
•High warning
•High alarm
When a threshold is crossed, the system sends a message to the console.
Note The default values for the optical power receive thresholds are sufficient for most network
configurations.
Command Purpose
show interfaces wave slot/subcard Displays interface information.
