Use of FPC Numbers in Routing Matrix CLI Commands

A standalone T640 routing node can be configured with up to eight FPCs (numbered 0 through 7). Since a routing matrix can have up to four T640 routing nodes, and each T640 routing node has up to eight FPCs, the routing matrix as a whole can have up to 32 FPCs (0 through 31).

Table 6 shows the correspondence between the FPC hardware slot numbers in the T640 routing nodes and the FPC assignments recognized by the JUNOS software for a routing matrix.

The FPC slot numbers appear in two main ways in the CLI:

Using FPC Numbers in Operational Mode Chassis Commands

You can specify the FPC slot number in operational mode chassis commands in two ways:

This is the recommended method. The show command output also lists information in this way, sorted first by LCC number and then by FPC slot 0 through 7.

For example, the following commands have the same result, but the first is the recommended usage:

user@host>request chassis fpc lcc 1 slot 1 offline
user@host>request chassis fpc slot 9 offline

Configuring FPC Numbers at the [edit chassis lcc number] Hierarchy Level

When configuring at the [edit chassis lcc number] hierarchy level, you must specify the LCC number and the actual FPC hardware slot number as labeled on the T640 routing node chassis (0 through 7). For more information, see the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.


[edit chassis]
lcc lcc-number { 
    fpc slot-number { # Use the hardware FPC slot number
        pic pic-number {
            ...
        }
    }
}

Configuring Interfaces

When configuring interfaces (or specifying an interface name in show commands), you use the routing matrix FPC range of 0 through 31. For example, the 11 in t1-11/2/0 refers to FPC hardware slot 3 on LCC 1. For more information on configuring interfaces, refer to the JUNOS Network Interfaces and Class of Service Configuration Guide.
