Check whether the distance between the local and remote ends exceeds the maximum transmission distance of the remote optical module, whether the optical modules or fibers are damaged, whether the optical modules and fibers mismatch (for example, multimode fibers are used on.

From what i have understood if an interface is shutdown then the TX Power level is -40. 00dBm, which means the port is not sending any single. If you could please explain the TX RX level that will be most appreciated. I've. Monitoring the optical power of SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) modules is a critical step in maintaining stable network links. Even if an interface appears up, degraded Tx/Rx levels can cause intermittent flapping, packet loss, or err-disabled states. Checking optical power helps pinpoint issues. For network engineers working with fiber optics (SFP, SFP+, QSFP), understanding TX (Transmit) and RX (Receive) signal strength is critical.
