The show inventory command shows the following output:
NOTE: In the following show inventory media command output, the port numbers 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 ports are
actually inactive. However, Dell Networking OS still shows that optical cables are inserted into these ports. This is a
software limitation for this release.

Configuring wavelength for 10Gigabit SFP+ optics
You can set the wavelength for tunable 10Gigabit SFP+ optics using the wavelength command. To set the wavelength,
follow these steps:
Enter the interface mode and set the wavelength.
INTERFACE mode
wavelength 1529.0
The wavelength range is from 1528.3 nm to 1568.77nm.
Verify configuration changes.

Link Dampening
Interface state changes occur when interfaces are administratively brought up or down or if an interface state changes.
Every time an interface changes a state or flaps, routing protocols are notified of the status of the routes that are affected by
the change in state. These protocols go through the momentous task of re-converging. Flapping; therefore, puts the status of
entire network at risk of transient loops and black holes. Dampening limits the notification of status to the routing protocols.
Link dampening minimizes the risk created by flapping by imposing a penalty (1024) for each interface flap and decaying the
