Identifying pluggable transceivers
As pluggable transceivers are of various types and from different vendors, you can perform the
following configurations to identify main parameters of the pluggable transceivers, including transceiver
type, connector type, central wavelength of the laser sent, transfer distance and vendor name or vendor
name specified.

z You can use the Vendor Name field in the prompt information of the display transceiver
interface command to identify an anti-spoofing pluggable transceiver customized by H3C. If the
field is H3C, it is considered an H3C-customized pluggable transceiver.
z Electrical label information is also called permanent configuration data or archive information,
which is written to the storage device of a card during device debugging or test. The information
includes name of the card, device serial number, and vendor name or vendor name specified.
