Configuring a Routing Engine to Reboot or Halt on Hard Disk Errors (NSM Procedure)
You can configure a Routing Engine to halt or reboot automatically when a hard disk error occurs. A hard disk error may cause a Routing Engine to enter a state in which it responds to local pings and interfaces remain up, but no other processes are responding.
To Configure Routing Engine to reboot or halt:
- In the NSM navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices.
- Click the Device Tree tab, and then double-click the device to select it.
- Click the Configuration tab. In the configuration tree, select Chassis > Routing Engine.
- Add or modify Routing Engine settings as specified in Table 1.
- Click one:
- OK—Saves the changes.
- Cancel—Cancels the modifications.
