Question
An administrator connected a new fiber cable and transceiver to interface Ethernet1/1 on a Palo Alto Networks firewall. However, the link does not seem to be coming up. If an administrator were to troubleshoot, how would they confirm the transceiver type, tx-power, rx-power, vendor name, and part number via the CLI?
Options
- Ashow system state filter sw.dev.interface.config
- Bshow chassis status slot s1
- Cshow system state filter-pretty sys.s1.*
- Dshow system state filter ethernet1/1

Explanation
On PAN-OS, detailed transceiver/optic information (type, Tx power, Rx power, vendor, part number, serial number) is stored in the system state data structure under the slot namespace. The command 'show system state filter-pretty sys.s1.*' queries the system state for all attributes under slot 1 (s1), which includes the transceiver data for physical interfaces on that slot - formatted in a human-readable way via the 'filter-pretty' option. Option A uses 'sw.dev.interface.config' which shows software interface configuration, not physical transceiver hardware data. Option B ('show chassis status slot s1') is more relevant to chassis-based platforms. Option D's 'filter ethernet1/1' syntax is not the correct path to retrieve optic diagnostic data.
