How to check SFP Module transceiver, Vendor name & power check

To check the details of an SFP module in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), you can use the ethtool command. Use the following command to check the SFP module details for a specific network interface.

SFP Management

When an SFP OID is present then a module is plugged in. When an SFP OID is absent then the port is empty. Information about the current module is queried using onlp_sfp_info_get to populate the

SFP modules on a board running Linux

Our goal was to use Linux and to offer runtime dynamic reconfiguration of the networking links based the SFP module plugged in. To achieve this we used, and extended, a combination of Linux kernel

hardware

I''m getting ''Cannot get module EEPROM information. Operation not supported'' when trying to pull this info off the interfaces that do not have a link on. Bringing up an interface at the OS

SFP module not working in Linux

The problem we''re facing currently is that SFP modules will not establish a link with the switch, but only in Linux, in u-boot, it works fine. Here''s the output:
