You can view the optical monitoring information using the show optic command as displayed in the
following:
Syntax: show optic <slot>
The <slot> variable specifies the slot in the switch chassis that you want to monitor optical
information from.
Cleaning fiber optic modules
To avoid problems with the connection between the fiber optic module port and the fiber cable
connector, Brocade strongly recommends cleaning both connectors before making this connection.
In particular, dust can accumulate in either connector and cause problems such as reducing the
optic launch power.
To clean the fiber cable connectors, Brocade recommends using a fiber optic reel-type cleaner. You
can purchase this type of cleaner from the following Website:

When not using a fiber optic module port connector, make sure to keep the protective covering on.
