Maintaining MX960 PICs

Purpose

For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the PICs.

Action

• Check the LEDs on PIC faceplates. The meaning of the LED states differs for various PICs. For more information, see the MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers Line Card Guide . If the FPC that houses the PIC detects a PIC failure, the FPC generates an alarm message to be sent to the Routing Engine.
• Issue the CLI show chassis fpc pic-status command. The PIC slots in an FPC are numbered from 0 through 1, top to bottom:
  user@host> show chassis fpc pic-status
