Transceiver & Line Card Inventory - One-liner

Danny — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 13:56:42 GMT

🚀 Runs on all Check Point Gaia systems.
🎓 Referenced in sk180812

One-liner (Bash) to show the inventory of plugged transceivers, DAC cables and line cards.

In expert mode run:

Cool script. It noteworthy that it does not run on R80.30 (I know, that R80.30 is EoS!). Seems to work only on actual releases. Can you name the minimal version it runs on?

I'm glad that you like it.
The one-liner is intended to run on supported Gaia versions.

Hi,

I get an error when running this.
There's a missing check if the "file=`find /etc/hcp/tests -name hcp_optic_info.json|head -n1`" element returns an empty result.

I get that this isn't a supported DAC, but the it affects the script plumbing providing more useful details.

Will try it tomorrow on one of customer's firewalls.

@Eric_Beasley : I updated the one-liner as Check Point changed from hcp_optic_info.json to /etc/xcvr_list.csv

Hello Guys,

FYI, I tested the last version on a 9100 but I get the following :
"

Check Point 9100 (Serial: XXXXBBXXXX, MAC: XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX)

Try 'grep --help' for more information.

There is definitely a 8 port cards 1/10G installed. The gateway is running R81.20 JHF 119

Hi Danny,

I just ran this on a 9800 running R82 in VSX mode and got this:
