Whitepaper SFP Optical Transceiver Inventory and Monitoring using NC-SI Abstract iDRAC monitor SFP optical transceivers that are plugged into the SFP port of a network device. All SFP optical transceivers are hot pluggable and provide fiber connectivity to the network hardware. SFPs support high-speed connectivity and extended cable lengths.

Executive summary Executive summary iDRAC inventories and monitors SFP optical transceivers and delivers diagnostic information on the device to the user across iDRAC interfaces. A transceiver plugs into the SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) port of a network device on one end and connects to Fiber Channel/Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) optical fiber cables on the other end.
1 SFP optical transceiver inventory and monitoring using NC-SI This document provides information on iDRAC inventory and monitoring of supported SFP optical transceivers that are already plugged into network device SFP ports. SFP transceiver data is shared across all iDRAC user interfaces. SFF-8472 specification defines SFP transceiver diagnostic information which contains manufacture and sensor information.
