      show chassis hardware
      show interfaces extensive <>
      show interfaces diagnostics optics <>
      show chassis pic fpc-slot 0 pic-slot 0
      show chassis led

      start shell
      vty fpc0
      show syslog messages
      show qsfp list >>>>>> get the index ID for affected ports
       
      show qsfp <$id> alarms
      show qsfp <$id> diagnostics
      show qsfp <$id> info
      show qsfp <$id> identifier
      show qsfp <$id> i2c_accel_err
      show dcbcm ifd all >>>>>>> get the port-name
    • Bcm commands: JTAC guidance is highly recommended to run these commands
      set dcb diag >>>>>>>> [to get into bcm shell]
      show unit
      ps
      phy info
      port <port name>
      phy control <port-name>
      phy diag <port-name> dsc
      phy diag <port-name> pcs
      phy diag <port-name> dsc config
