I need help finding the transceiver values in a PA-5220.

In Cisco world the command is 'sh int e 1/5 transceiver details'. And it produces this output.

Ethernet1/5
transceiver is present
type is 10Gbase-SR
name is CISCO-JDSU
part number is PLRXPL-SC-S43-CS
revision is 1
serial number is JUR1932GG49
nominal bitrate is 10300 MBit/sec
Link length supported for 50/125um OM2 fiber is 82 m
Link length supported for 62.5/125um fiber is 26 m
Link length supported for 50/125um OM3 fiber is 300 m
cisco id is 3
cisco extended id number is 4
cisco part number is 10-2415-03
cisco product id is SFP-10G-SR
cisco vendor id is V03

Hoping there is a similar command with Palo.

I found this command starting in 10.X. show transceiver-detail ethernet1/5

Unfortunately I am running 9.1. I am hoping there are more cryptic commands available.

Thank you for the post @ChrisIsett

With older version of PAN-OS you are left only with limited options to get SFP information through system state:

https://knowledgebase.paloaltonetworks.com/KCSArticleDetail?id=kA10g000000boFQCAY

This unfortunately does not give more detailed information regarding TX/RX Power, Voltage,...

Other than this, I do not believe that with PAN-OS 9.X you can drill down more information directly out of the box.

Kind Regards
