Hei

we have some switches that are connected with our nexus switches via SFP-10GLR. all switches are ok but only one is getting warnings in the logs saying: CET: %SFF8472-5-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION: Te1/1: Rx power high warning; Operating value:  -0.9 dBm, Threshold value:  -1.0 dBm.

all the SFP,s are same in alle switches.

%SFF8472-5-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION Vs SFF8472-5-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION.

The first one is printed for the ports that are configured, but not connected/active.

You can avoid such error messages simply shutting down unused ports.

The latter indicates that there is a real threshold violation.

For more details on these error messages, check out.

Action Plan:

========

Can you please try clearing the interface counters, so that we can notice the frequency of errors.

Also I researched on the logs that we are observing on our device and have seen cases where the issue has been resolved by physically removing and reinserting transceiver.

Please refer below link for more details:

we have followed the procedures of removing and reinserting the sfp,s also tried to change the sfp,s but still getting the same warning messages.

Hi

what platform and software are you seeing this on ?

i believe I've seen this on a 7600 before and it was a cosmetic bug
