T320 T Series Control Boards (T-CBs) Description
![]() |
Note: The T-CB requires JUNOS Software Release 7.0 or later. |
This chassis supports up to two T-CBs. The Routing Engine requires an adjacent T-CB to provide control and monitoring functions for the router (see Figure 1). These functions include determining Routing Engine mastership; controlling power and reset for the other router components; monitoring and controlling fan speed; and monitoring system status.
You can install up to two T-CBs in the router. T-CBs install into the upper rear of the chassis in the slots labeled CB0 and CB1 (referred to as CB-0 and CB-1, top to bottom). If two T-CBs are installed, one functions as the master and the other as its backup. If the master fails or is removed, the backup restarts and becomes the master.
Each T-CB requires a Routing Engine to be installed in the adjacent slot. CB0 installs above RE0, and CB1 installs below RE1. T-CBs can not function if a Routing Engine is not present in the adjacent slot.
If the host system is redundant, the backup T-CB is hot-removable and hot-insertable, but the master T-CB is hot-pluggable. A T-CB that is not redundant is hot-pluggable.
