Huawei switches use optical ports to connect fiber optic cables via SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) or SFP+ modules, supporting both single-mode and multi-mode fibers. These ports are designed for high-speed data transmission and can operate at speeds ranging from 100 Mbps to 100 Gbps depending on the switch model and module type . Each optical port can provide digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM), which allows real-time monitoring of parameters such as transmit/receive power, voltage, bias current, and temperature .
Huawei requires the use of certified optical modules to ensure transmission reliability and service stability. Non-certified modules may cause link instability or service interruptions, and Huawei does not provide support for issues caused by non-certified modules . Certified modules are labeled with "HUAWEI" and meet specific firmware and manufacturing date requirements. For example, modules manufactured after July 1, 2013, with firmware version V200R001C00 or later, are considered certified .
To check the status and performance of optical ports, Huawei switches provide several CLI commands:
display transceiver: Shows information for all optical ports, including module type, connector type, wavelength, transfer distance, and vendor name .display transceiver interface : Displays detailed information for a specific optical port .display transceiver : Provides receive and transmit power, temperature, voltage, and bias current for the module .display transceiver diagnosis interface : Retrieves DDM diagnostic parameters for troubleshooting . Additionally, the display interface command can be used to check link status, interface rate, and traffic statistics, which is essential for troubleshooting connectivity issues .display interface brief command to quickly identify active interfaces and their status before performing detailed diagnostics . Huawei optical ports provide robust monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, making them reliable for enterprise and data center networks when used with certified modules and proper management practices.
