Abstract: Certain network switch device can use pluggable transceivers to send and receive data. Transceiver may be capable of operating in multiple different operating modes defined by parameters such as speed. Application data indicating one or more operational modes supported by the transceiver may be read from a memory of a transceiver. An interface may be provided by a network switch device that indicates the one or more operational modes and identifiers of the one or more operational modes. The transceiver may be configured by the network switch device to operate in a selected operational mode based on a selection of an identifier corresponding to the selected operational modes. The selected operational mode, which may require multiple parameters to be configured on the transceiver, may be set using a single command based on the identifier.
