Fiber Monitoring Protocol
Requirements
● You can only use Fiber Monitoring with transceivers capable of diagnostics. Note the
documentation of the devices.
● To be able to use the fiber monitoring function, enable LLDP. The fiber monitoring
information is appended to the LLDP packets.
Monitoring optical links
With Fiber Monitoring, you can monitor the received power and the loss of power on optical
links between two switches.
If you enable fiber monitoring on an optical port, the device sends the current transmit power
of the port to its connection partner using LLDP packets. In addition to sending, the device
also checks whether corresponding information is received from the connection partner.
Regardless of whether the IE switch receives diagnostics information from its connection
partner, it monitors the received power measured at the optical port for the set limit values.
If fiber monitoring is enabled on the connection partner, the connection partner transfers the
current value for the transmit power of the port to the device. The device compares the value
it has received for the transmit power with the actually received power. The difference
between the received power and the transmit power represents the power loss on the link.
The calculated power loss is also monitored for the set limit values.
If the value of the received power or the power loss falls below or exceeds the set limit
values, an event is triggered. You can set limit values in two stages for messages with the
severity levels "Warning" and "Critical".
In "System > Events > Configuration", you can specify how the IE switch indicates the event.
Note
If you have enabled fiber monitoring and a pluggable transceiver with diagnostics capability
is pulled, fiber monitoring is automatically disabled for this port and the set limit values and a
possibly pending error status are deleted.
