Maintaining the T1600 Routing Engines

Purpose

For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the Routing Engines and the control boards.

Action

• Check the host subsystem LEDs on the craft interface. For more information about the LEDs and the display, see T1600 Craft Interface Description.

  During normal operations:

  • The green host subsystem OK LED on the craft interface is lit.
  • The red host subsystem FAIL LED on the craft interface is not lit.
• Check the LCD on the craft interface to view information about the router temperature and the status of the Routing Engines.
• Issue the show chassis routing-engine command to check the status of the Routing Engines. The output is similar to the following:
  user@host> show chassis routing-engine
