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.
