[j-nsp] Power issues on 10Gig link

[Ali Sumsam]

Hi All,

I am using a SFP-10GBase-ER for my Cisco3750X for a 10gig link going to a
Juniper MX5-T router (10GE XFP)


I am receiving following logs on my Cisco3750X.

 %SFF8472-5-THRESHOLD_VIOLATION: Te1/1/2: Rx power low alarm; Operating
value: -21.3 dBm, Threshold value: -20.0 dBm.

No logs on Juniper.

Does this mean I have to increase the power on the interface?
Or is there anything else I need to look at?

Following are the readings from my Juniper router.

 Laser rx power high alarm threshold       :  1.2589 mW / 1.00 dBm
    Laser rx power low alarm threshold        :  0.0158 mW / -18.01 dBm
    Laser rx power high warning threshold     :  1.0000 mW / 0.00 dBm
    Laser rx power low warning threshold      :  0.0199 mW / -17.01 dBm
