which hardware supports GBIC show interfaces transciever ? open original image

I've got a few C4912g's in the field as fiber aggregators, and would like to see rx light level on ZX and CWDM GBICs; something like the "show interfaces transciever" with GBIC support would be nice, either in IOS or CatOS.



If unsupported on 4912g, does anyone have a recommendation for good hardware?


I have never used any of this but the following may be what you are looking for.

Digital Optical Monitoring Compatibility Matrix

By the way SPA = Shared Port Adapter - no idea what it means except, look expensive

Cisco Digital Optical Monitoring

Thanks for the link; the matrix mentions the 3750G-12-S but not the

3550-12G at all; I wonder if that's omission, or planned obsolecense. It seems hard to believe that the feature could be added to a 4503 but not a 3550, considering the relative ages of the two platforms.
