Fiber identification
Hello,
I want to report a situation I'm facing. My goal is to identify the fiber link between the buildings of my company.
I know for the oldest one that they are OM1. Now I need to identitify the newer one. The only way I found was to test the network speed between two buildings. But sadly, all my ports are occupied except the consol/ management one. Do someone know specific tool to resolv my problem to identify what type of Fiber my company have ?
Do I have a way to do this speed test with switch procurv command ? ( I use these switch all around).
I have found TFTP from Cisco could do it, but I didn't find it from procurve. Do I have a way.
Thank you very much !
PS: I'm not allowed and I don't have the tools for cutting and mesuring the core of the fiber (65 micro meter =/= 50 micro meter)

Re: Fiber identification
Switch configuration (uplink ports/LAGs) will help too.
Also checking fiber optic patch cables data (usually printed directly on fiber optic cable's rubber surface) will give you an idea of each cable.
