Re: [c-nsp] SFP DOM SNMP Polling?

2016-11-22 Thread Tim Durack
A typical SFP spec sheet leads me to conclude that reading optic values repeatedly is expected. For example: https://www.finisar.com/sites/default/files/resources/AN_2030_DDMI_for_SFP_Rev_E2.pdf (I selected Finisar as they have complete spec sheets publicly available.) I question the vendor

SFP DOM SNMP Polling?

2016-11-22 Thread Tim Durack
I have a vendor that does not support SFP DOM SNMP polling. They state this is due to EEPROM read life cycle. Constant reads will damage the SFP. We SNMP poll SFP DOM from Cisco equipment without issue. Not heard this one before. Trying to see if there is some validity to the statement.

Seems bogus to me. I can't imagine why realtime stats would be in flash rather than RAM. In fact, that can't be the case: they have to update the stats many more times per second than SNMP would poll them. -mel beckman > On Nov 22, 2016, at 6:33 AM, Tim Durack wrote: > >

cisco-...@puck.nether.net on the CC is a cross-post to another list, resulting in bounces if you're not subscribed to both lists. So I am removing cisco-...@puck.nether.net as NANOG does not permit cross-site posting. -mel beckman > On Nov 22, 2016, at 6:57 AM, Mel Beckman

Hi Frank, Applying BCP38 at those level is more risky because of the sheer volume of transit & prefixes. For years, people have been working hard pushing the responsibility of BCP38 to outside their sandbox. You may remember one of those instance. - Alain Hebert

Michael, I totally missed the fact that reads don’t stress EEPROMs! Excellent point, and makes the vendor’s claim totally bogus. Probably just one employees claim, but the vendor should step up and fix the real problem. -mel > On Nov 22, 2016, at 9:11 AM, Michael Loftis

I'm no expert in EEPROMs but recall awhile back we had an optical vendor (transport-side, not router-side) that did do frequent writes (maybe it was for performance info) to EEPROM and burned them out that way after a couple of years. Maybe your vendor is saying they don't support reporting this
