Maintaining MX960 DPCs

Purpose

The router can have up to 12 Dense Port Concentrators (DPCs) mounted vertically in the DPC card cage at the front of the chassis. For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the DPCs.

Action

• Check the LEDs on the craft interface directly above each DPC slot. The green LED labeled OK lights steadily when a DPC is functioning normally.
• Check the OK/FAIL LED on the DPC. For more information, see MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers Line Card Guide . If the DPC detects a failure, the DPC sends an alarm message to the Routing Engine.
• Check the status of installed DPCs by issuing the CLI show chassis fpc command to check the status of installed DPCs. As shown in the sample output, the value Online in the column labeled State indicates that the DPC is functioning normally:
  user@host> show chassis fpc
