Test fibre ISP drop
ISP making a demark drop inside my new server room. I don't want to find out last minute there's no signal or lower bandwidth than ordered.
Is there a reasonably inexpensive device that can show the signal and can test speed? Or any other ways?
This is for LC Fibre 1Gb multimode. Thanks.

Also if signal is getting to be to weak or too strong - you will be able to see it in log files (so again monitoring software (syslog) can give you warning about it).

Issue is I won't have any network gear day 1. I don't want to have surprises last minute when I will bring equipment in and start configuring.

Understood. Maybe they're adapters for phones, tablets, or laptops.

If you don't have the equipment yet, how do you expect the vendor to turn up the circuit? They normally perform BGP peering and such during that call?

Not sure I understand Bryan. You saying I must have a network gear in place before the ISP drops a demark in the server room?
This is a newly built room. Nothing in there yet. Just provisioning an ISP service.

Got it. And no BGP there. Looks pretty bland. See attached. Do I need BGP?

That's what I thought. And I can always add it later right?

You can use regex | match to reduce output size.
For bandwidth - you should use monitoring software.
