Hi All,
What is the best way to suppress alerts for Transceiver TX Power generated when a port is admin-down? cisco-entity-sensor mib has a default minimum value of 1mA, which is a perfectly valid minimum value under normal "up/up" conditions, but if the port is admin-shut it will switch off tx power, which is ok for admin-shut. Same situation for RX-power. Is there a way to take the admin status of the port in account for this kind of sensor readings? (ASR9k, IOS-XR)
Thanks,
Martin

There's no real way to link these two sets of information together.

(at the moment)
We could in the future perhaps add more metrics if the sensor is linked via entPhysical to a port, maybe?

I'm not really sure how we'd do this exactly, but it might be useful, I suppose.

It will help keep the list with (unrelevant/false) alerts a lot shorter, specially if there are a lot of unused SFPs in the box... As a "workaround" I will remove all unused SFPs next visit to the DC ;-)
thanks,
Martin
