Technical Note: How to check SFP transceiver module serial number and power

[wyteh_FTNT]

Description

One of the feature improvement in FortiOS v5.4.x, is the ability to check SFP and QSFP transceiver vendor information.  If it is a fiber, then temperature, voltage, and optical power can also be checked.      

Scope

This command is only available on certain of the FortiGate D-series models, such as the FortiGate 100D, 240D, 1500D, 3700D, 3810D and 3815D.  The device must also be running FortiOS 5.4.x.    

Solution

The command to use is '# get system interface transceiver' to retrieve information for all interfaces or '# get system interface transceiver <interface>' for a single interface.  Sample result is as below:

FG3K2D3Z14800076 # get sys interface transceiver
