Instructions

Run the following steps to confirm the part number of an existing SFP on a Gen3 Dell OS10 switch before ordering a replacement:

Log in to the switch.

Open the bash terminal by running:

rabbit# system bash

Run the following command to output a list with the Front Panel Port Number, Media Type, Part Number, Serial Number, and Dell Qualified status. This is followed by additional information about each SFP.

/opt/dell/os10/bin/os10-show-transceivers all |grep -E 'SFP|vendor'

Example:

admin@rabbit:~$ /opt/dell/os10/bin/os10-show-transceivers all |grep -E 'SFP|vendor'
   1              SFP28 25GBASE-CR-3.0M                  VXFJY                 CN07720685T1OON            Yes
base-pas/media/vendor-id = 3c18a0
base-pas/media/media-name = SFP28 25GBASE CR 3.0M
base-pas/media/category-string = SFP28
base-pas/media/display-string = SFP28 25GBASE-CR-3.0M
base-pas/media/vendor-pn = VXFJY
base-pas/media/vendor-name = DELL
base-pas/media/vendor-rev = 4130
   2              SFP28 25GBASE-CR-3.0M                  VXFJY                 CN07720684Q1I5M            Yes
base-pas/media/vendor-id = 3c18a0
base-pas/media/media-name = SFP28 25GBASE CR 3.0M
base-pas/media/category-string = SFP28
base-pas/media/display-string = SFP28 25GBASE-CR-3.0M
base-pas/media/vendor-pn = VXFJY
base-pas/media/vendor-name = DELL
base-pas/media/vendor-rev = 4130
   3              SFP28 25GBASE-CR-3.0M                  VXFJY                 CN0FCK0089301XW            Yes
base-pas/media/vendor-id = ec01e2
base-pas/media/media-name = SFP28 25GBASE CR 3.0M
base-pas/media/category-string = SFP28
base-pas/media/display-string = SFP28 25GBASE-CR-3.0M
base-pas/media/vendor-pn = VXFJY
base-pas/media/vendor-name = DELL
base-pas/media/vendor-rev = 4131
...

In the above example, the Dell part number of each SFP is 'VXFJY'.
