Optics Environment Monitoring (EM) Policy Support
This topic covers benefits of the optics environment monitoring policy support for your device and associated CLI commands for configuration and monitoring.
The Optics Environmental Monitoring (EM) policy ensures efficient thermal management of high-power optical modules such as 100GbE, 400GbE, and 800GbE. Systems with EM policy support have pre-configured temperature thresholds, eliminating manual fan speed configuration for high-power optics. The system can dynamically adjust fan speeds to maintain safe operational temperatures by periodically polling temperature readings from the optical modules. If the fire shutdown threshold temperature is exceeded, the system will automatically shut down the affected optics to prevent hardware damage, requiring manual intervention for reactivation.
Key functionalities include temperature monitoring integration, automatic shutdown procedures, and CLI commands for managing and configuring the EM policy. These capabilities collectively enhance system reliability and performance by preventing overheating and ensuring safe operational conditions for high-power optics.
EM policy is enabled by default on all high-power optics that are Multi-source Agreements (MSA) compliant and support diagnostic EEPROM with temperature monitoring. This policy is not applicable for loopback optics and direct attach copper (DAC) cables.
To manage this feature, you can leverage specific CLI commands for various configurations and monitoring tasks. For example:
If you need to disable the temperature monitoring on a particular port, you can use the
set chassis fpc fpc_slot pic pic_slot port port_no no-temperature-monitoringcommand. This command allows you to explicitly disable the EM policy on specified ports, which can be particularly useful for testing and troubleshooting.To view the temperature thresholds configured for the optics, you can use the
show chassis temperature-thresholdscommand, providing you with the necessary information to understand the predefined limits.

show chassis fancommand.If an optic shuts down due to exceeding the fire shutdown temperature threshold, a manual reset is possible by using the
request interface optics-resetcommand or performing a soft optics insertion and removal (OIR). This manual recovery process is crucial as the system does not support automatic recovery, emphasizing the need for you to be prepared to handle such scenarios promptly.
