bcsiOptMonTxBiasCurrent

Module: BROCADE-OPTICAL-MONITORING-MIB

OID (symbolic): BROCADE-OPTICAL-MONITORING-MIB::bcsiOptMonTxBiasCurrent

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1588.3.1.8.1.2.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: DisplayString

Access: read-only

Description: Tx Bias Current. It is measured in mA, and is followed by whether this is a normal value, or high/low warning or alarm. For 100G and 40G optic, this returns the aggregated Tx Bias Current for all lanes.

What is bcsiOptMonTxBiasCurrent?

Reports the transmitter laser bias current in milliamps for an interface (aggregated across all lanes for 40G/100G optics), with a normal/warning/alarm status indicator. Significant drift from the expected bias current can be an early warning of laser degradation.
