Description
Some SFP modules have invalid alarm/warning limits in their EPROM, for example:
Current Alarms Warnings

Measurement High Low High Low

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Temperature 41.08 C 100.00 C -10.00 C 95.00 C -5.00 C

Voltage 3.27 V 3.59 V 2.90 V 3.50 V 3.00 V

Current 20.29 mA 100.00 mA 1.00 mA 80.00 mA 2.00 mA

Tx Power -6.00 dBm 6.99 dBm -15.08 dBm 4.99 dBm -13.01 dBm
|
Rx Power -7.42 dBm 1.99 dBm 0.00 dBm 0.00 dBm -30.00 dBm
|
Here the Rx Power alarm range is 0 dBm to 1.99 dBm, and warning range is -30 dBm to 0 dBm.
It is just a normal (but probably cheap) 1000BASE-LR transceiver.
Obviously the alarm limits are impossible since alarm/warning ranges do not overlap.
It would be useful if Observium could detect such situations and automatically ignore ranges that are impossible.
