This command may be used to allow you to monitor the status of the crucial ports on your network while the alerts from the other ports are disabled.

Set optical power

Each port on this module can be set to operate at high or normal power. When operating at high power mode, the fiber distance between the two modules and the module or the transceiver can be as far as 4000 meters. Please note that you must enable high power mode at both ends to achieve the maximum possible distance. To set the power mode, you can use the following management command:

SET PORT {slot.port} HIGH_POWER {enabledisable}
