Does the switch have a light reception threshold
This tells you how much light is making it through the fiber cable to your switch. If the value crosses these numbers, the switch logs a syslog message or shuts down the port. If either Tx or Rx is in the -30 dBm or lower range that's usually indicative of there being no actual signal received and the transceiver is reporting. The switch reads all values like RX/TX high/low warning and alarm thresholds from the. Does anyone have a solid rule of thumb or a cheat sheet for quickly looking at a dB reading on an optic within a router/switch/firewall/etc and being able to interpret it as acceptable or not? Does the threshold change for SMF and MM vs 10g and 1g, etc? Just trying to get a few tips from people.
