Can't wait until more routers start to incorporate inline optical power readings in "show interface" commands the way Procket did :-)

Don't SFPs provide this sort of optical digital diagnostics?
Yes, but hardly any vendor provides ways to extract this highly useful information from the hardware. I think the Cat6.5k does. The Foundry MG8 shows you the serial #'s of inserted SFPs and XENPAKs in `show media'; useful in a different way. -- Niels.
