golang-ethtool

Provides packages for interacting with the Linux kernel's ethtool ioctls. Supports parsing transceiver's EEPROM data according to the standards:

• SFF-8472 rev 12.3
• SFF-8636 rev 4.9
• SFF-8463

Overview

• eeprom/eeprom.go provides a unified interface for different EEPROM types.
• eeprom/sff8472/eeprom.go provides the SFF-8472 implementation
• eeprom/sff8636/eeprom.go provides the SFF-8636 implementation, which is also used for decoding SFF8463 eeproms.

Usage

Included basic example

A minimal example is included:

go get ./...
cd example
go build

It allows for parsing the EEPROM contents of a given and dumps them to STDOUT: ./example --interface swp42
