Hello all,
Is there an east way how to display transceiver properties like the inserted type? So far I have tried through clish show interface ..,
[Expert@gw-4370e6:0]# ethtool eth3-01
Settings for eth3-01:
Supported ports: [ FIBRE ]
Supported link modes: 40000baseKR4/Full
40000baseCR4/Full
40000baseSR4/Full
40000baseLR4/Full
Supports auto-negotiation: No
Advertised link modes: 40000baseKR4/Full
40000baseCR4/Full
40000baseSR4/Full
40000baseLR4/Full
Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: Unknown!
Duplex: Unknown! (255)
Port: FIBRE
PHYAD: 0
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: off
Link detected: no
Above, I am not sure whether the transceiver was even installed, in case of this 2-port 40G card, shouldn't it described it as external instead of internal? I have tried ethtool -m eth3-01, or ethtool -e but it seems these option are not supported in Gaia.
Try "ethtool -i (interfacename)", that will show the driver type. Here is a quick mapping of driver to manufacturer from the upcoming second edition of Max Power:
e1000, e1000e, igb, ixgbe, w83627 | Intel | Recommended with latest GA jumbo hotfix loaded |
mlx5_core, mlx_compat | Mellanox | Relatively new 40Gbit fiber card for 15000/23000 appliance series only |
bge, tg3 | Broadcom | Not recommended for use with production traffic |
be2net | Emulex | Not recommended for use with production traffic |
sk98lin | SysKonnect/Marvell | Obsolete very bad |
Intel is always preferred, Mellanox seems to be OK so far but the jury is still out for now...

Thanks for the tip with -i flag, but what I was referring to is output like inserted transceiver type e.g. CPAC-TR-40SR-QSFP-300m, its serial number and so on.
hi Maros, did you ever work out if there is a way to get this output?
I need identify what type is SFP connected? ethtool -m eth3-01 dont work in r80.10 for 15600
Hi there,
I opened case for this question around a year ago and the official answer was:
"There is no way to gather such information from CLI".
BUT
I was able to found some info by shutting down affected interface and bring it up again.
Where?
/var/log/messages
or
dmesg
Cant remember exact info there was, but for sure there was no serial number.
I hope (dont believe) that there will be something like "show interface transceiver" in R80.30 ....
