Configuring a T1600 Router to Be Offline

By default, the Junos OS allows all T1600 routers in the routing matrix to come online. If you do not want a T1600 router to be part of the routing matrix, you can configure it to be offline. This is useful when you are performing maintenance on a T1600 router. To configure a T1600 router so that it is offline, include the offline statement at the [edit chassis lcc lcc-number] hierarchy level.

When you are ready to bring the T1600 router back online, delete the offline configuration statement at the [edit chassis lcc lcc-number] hierarchy level.

Note: If you do not configure the online-expected or offline statement, any T1600 router that is part of the routing matrix is allowed to come online. However, if a T1600 router does not come online, the TX Matrix Plus router does not generate an alarm.
