Abstract
Techniques are described for indicating a wavelength at which a network interface device is configured to operate. A first controller circuit may determine a wavelength at which the network interface device is operating. The wavelength at which the network interface device is operating includes at least one of an optical wavelength at which a laser of the network interface device is transmitting optical data or an optical wavelength at which a photodiode of the network interface device is receiving optical data. A second controller circuit may cause the network interface device to output a sensory output that indicates the wavelength at which the network interface device is operating.
