Cisco ASR 9000 series – Not supported transceiver PID

When you have inserted Optical Transceiver in Cisco ASR 9000 port, you could get a following warning:

 

ASR9k-1 LC/0/4/CPU0:May 28 16:29:31.572 :ETHER_CTRL[164]: %PLATFORM-ETHER_CTRL-4-XCVR_WARNING : SFP for port 29 is disabled - Not supported transceiver PID

 

Software reads Optics EEPROM and performs Security, Type and Product ID (PID). In case something is not matching Optics Transmit Laser will be turned off and following alarm displayed.

In order to make port work there could be necessity to input following command:

 

transceiver permit pid all

 

With this command we override the check and the optic is brought up.
As well we can run this command to verify the current interface status:
