Use the show media validation command to find out whether the connected optic modules are
supported or not on Brocade devices.

Viewing optical monitoring information
You can view temperature and power information for qualified XFPs, SFPs, and SFP+ installed in a
FastIron device.
Use the show optic command to view information about an XFP, SFP, or SFP+ installed in a
particular port. The following shows example output.
Optical monitoring feature will not work in the following scenarios:
• The port is DOWN.
• The port is configured as a stacking port.
• The the optic module does not support optical monitoring.
• For ICX 6430 devices only:
‐ If an SFP+ optic is inserted in an SFP only port, the optic will not initialize.
‐ If an SFP optic is inserted in an SFP+ only port, the optic will not initialize.
‐ If an optic is inserted into a device that supports both SFP and SFP+ optics, use the
speed-duplex command to set the port speed correctly.
