Using netsight to get tranciever inventory report

[Byron_Morales]

Is there a way to use netsight to gather a list/report of all the transceivers used in all my network?

[Erik_Auerswald]

With S-Series, K-Series, and 7100 switches, you could use a NetSight command script to execute
show port transceiver *.*.* Of course, one would want to have a FlexView or some kind of OneView Report that can collect this information for all the different Extreme Networks switches, but that is currently not possible, as far as I know. 😞

Currently, one needs to stitch together lots of individual solutions:

• EXOS switches support a couple of REST APIs, using XML or JSON, depending on EXOS version
• some EXOS and EOS switches support CLI commands directly via SSH command line (e.g. ssh admin@switch show config)
• all switches can be accessed using expect and SSH (or telnet) to automate CLI commands
• EOS switches usually provide lots of info via SNMP, but one needs to read the MIBs, use the NetSight MIB Tool, or find a fitting FlexView to discover this (SecureStacks implement different parts of MIBs than S-Series, for example)

All of the above solutions require different commands (with differing output) or SNMP OIDs to read the same information.

It would be nice if Extreme Management could abstract these differences and allow easy access to the information, at least for all Extreme Networks branded devices.

Thanks,
Erik

There's a few threads that talk about ways to get this information via REST in JSON format. See below.
Transceiver DDMI stats via SNMP
Get info by SNMP about "ports transceiver information"

[EtherMAN]

Not a scripter and there is not a mib to my knowledge that will pull this info but a couple of cli commands to get this info is below and examples of the output...

You would have to write a script to pull this on multiple switches and have a way to capture the output...

You would have to then parse your data to fields. This has to be done for each slot on a chassis switch but on a single switch it will give you all ports with this command

debug hal show optic-info

Not sure how far back on the XOS images this is supported and I am not sure if there is a similar command for non XOS switches. This is still easier than doing a single command for each port
show port 1:1 transceiver info detail.

If you are after the optical and performance information then this is the command
