Subject: ethtool -m bug: transceiver made for fiber is misreported as
supporting copper
Hello,
I noticed a problem of fiber optic transceiver OM4 distance ratings
being mis-reported as copper distance when using ethtool v5.4, and I
thing the root cause is an ethtool bug. Can this be fixed so that
ethtool reports "Length (OM4)" in meters while fiber optic
transceivers are installed, and "Length (Copper)" in meters while
copper transceivers are installed? Thank you.
Here's more info:
According to SFF-8472 rev 12.3, Table 4-1:
A0h 18, Byte 1 is dedicated to indicating the supported length of
either 50µm OM4 fiber cable, or copper cable, with this description:
“
Link length supported for 50um OM4 fiber, units of 10m.
Alternatively copper or direct attach cable, units of m
“
Below is a CLI transcript showing the problem; ethtool incorrectly
indicates that a fiber optic transceiver rated for up to 100m of OM4
fiber is made for up to 10m of copper:
