Run the following command to view detailed identification information of the optical module: get switch modules detail The output includes module type, package style, transmission distance, serial number, vendor information and other data programmed into the optical. Run the following command to view detailed identification information of the optical module: get switch modules detail The output includes module type, package style, transmission distance, serial number, vendor information and other data programmed into the optical. When optical modules operate on a switch, it is usually necessary to read the module's internal information to understand its working status—such as connection status and real-time metrics like optical power and temperature. Additionally, identifying module information helps detect coding. Removing an SFP module from a network switch may appear simple, but improper handling can damage the transceiver, the switch port, or even the fiber interface. The Cisco Small Business Series Switches allow you to plug in a Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceiver in their optical modules to connect fiber optic cables. This guide gives a practical, CLI-focused workflow for checking SFP health and diagnostics on Cisco switches, shows the exact commands you'll use, explains what the numbers mean, and compares OEM (Cisco) vs third-party modules so you can pick the right SFP module supplier for reliability and cost. This guide provides complete, step-by-step CLI commands to view module type, DOM/DDM diagnostic data, vendor details, and compatibility information, fully compliant with Cisco IOS and IOS-XE command standards.
