Description

This KB intends to explain why the physically plugged in transceivers are not shown in 'show chassis hardware' output and where to see them

Symptoms

  • Transceivers are not detected in 'show chassis hardware output'.
  • Ports come UP

Solution

On NFX devices, the physical transceivers are not detected in 'show chassis hardware' output, which is expected.

 

To get this information, we have another command that can be used - show system inventory hardware optics

 

Sample output:

 

root> show system inventory hardware optics

 

Port information:

                              Serial                              Xcvr vendor

 Port      Cable type       number           Xcvr vendor       part number
