This chapter describes Cisco IOS XR Optics Controller configuration, including optical module control, diagnostics, alarms, PRBS testing, and loopback procedures for monitoring and troubleshooting transceivers.
It covers Cisco IOS XR Optics Controller configuration, remotely disabling and re-enabling optical modules, and viewing transceiver status, module state, datapath state, diagnostic parameters, and alarms.
It also provides procedures for PRBS link testing and host/media-side loopback configuration to help monitor, validate, and troubleshoot optical transceivers and coherent optics.
Controller configuration
