Maintenance Using TDR
The time domain reectometer (TDR) is supported on all Dell EMC Networking switches.
TDR is an assistance tool to resolve link issues that helps detect obvious open or short conditions within any of the four copper pairs. TDR
sends a signal onto the physical cable and examines the reection of the signal that returns. By examining the reection, TDR is able to
indicate whether there is a cable fault (when the cable is broken, becomes unterminated, or if a transceiver is unplugged).
TDR is useful for troubleshooting an interface that is not establishing a link; that is, when the link is apping or not coming up. TDR is not
intended to be used on an interface that is passing trac. When a TDR test is run on a physical cable, it is important to shut down the port
on the far end of the cable. Otherwise, it may lead to incorrect test results.
NOTE: TDR is an intrusive test. Do not run TDR on a link that is up and passing trac.
To test and display TDR results, use the following commands.
1 To test for cable faults on the TenGigabitEthernet cable.
EXEC Privilege mode
tdr-cable-test tengigabitethernet slot/port
Between two ports, do not start the test on both ends of the cable.
Enable the interface before starting the test.
Enable the port to run the test or the test prints an error message.
2 Displays TDR test results.

Conguring wavelength for 10–Gigabit SFP+ optics
You can set the wavelength for tunable 10–Gigabit 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 conguration changes.
