Transceivers Task
Task Execution Control
Executing certain commands to retrieve transceiver-related information may cause issues on some devices. In the worst case, a device may crash and reload. To prevent network disruptions, IP Fabric employs a transceiver task execution control system. The task is only executed on a device if:
- The
Transceiverstask is enabled. - IP Fabric doesn’t classify the device as affected by any known bugs.
Note
- By default, the
Transceiverstask is disabled. You can enable it in the IP Fabric settings (follow the steps below). - Even if the
Transceiverstask is enabled, IP Fabric still prevents its execution on any devices classified as affected by any known bugs. This feature cannot be disabled at this time. Refer to the list of known bugs and their corresponding software and hardware versions.
Disclaimer
While we strive to prevent task execution on all software and hardware versions known to be affected by bugs, we cannot guarantee that all bugs are patched. For example, a device manufacturer may update their list of devices affected by a specific bug over time, but IP Fabric may not fully reflect these updates.
How To Find Transceivers in IP Fabric

How To Enable/Disable Transceivers Task
This task is enabled by default for all vendors and product families, meaning that this command is not executed on any device.
You can enable/disable this task in Settings → Discovery & Snapshots → Discovery Settings → Disabled Discovery Tasks.
To disable this task, you need to delete the default Transceivers task or edit it.
When editing this task, you select devices by using a regular expression where this command should not be executed. For example, if you don’t want to run the show interface transceivers command on all Cisco devices, enter cisco in the Vendor field. More specific device selection can be done using the Family, Platform, Model, and Version fields. You can test your regex rules with the Test rules button.
