RSD Administration View

Access Privileges

The RSD administrator creates the PSDs through the Junos OS running on the Routing Engines in the T Series chassis. With the correct user privileges and authentication, an RSD administrator can log in to a PSD from the RSD.

System Information

The RSD administrator can use the show chassis psd command to view which PSDs are configured within the RSD. Otherwise, when issuing show commands on the RSD, the administrator views all hardware on the T Series router.

By default, system log files are stored in the /var/log/message directory on the router. If a system log message on an RSD originates from an FPC that is assigned to a PSD, the system message is logged locally at the RSD and is also forwarded to that particular PSD. If a system log message originates from a hardware resource that is shared between and RSD and PSDs, the message is logged locally at the RSD and is also forwarded to all PSDs associated with the RSD.

Management Tasks

The RSD administrator manages all hardware on the T Series router, including the Routing Engines, FPCs, Switch Interface Boards (SIBs), the Switch Processor Mezzanine Board (SPMB), Power Entry Modules (PEMs), and fans. The RSD administrator can issue show, request, clear, and test commands for any hardware on the T Series router and for any FPCs that are part of a PSD.

Note: A switchover between Routing Engines on the T Series router (the RSD) does not affect PSDs. However, when an RSD reboots or goes offline, the FPCs assigned to PSDs will reboot or go offline.
