Viewing a Graphical Image of the Chassis and Components

The Chassis view provides a pictorial representation of the chassis or device, and the modules or components that are installed in it, such as the line cards, interfaces, and other hardware elements

1. From the View selector, select Device View. The functionalities that you can configure in this view are displayed.
2. From the Device View pane, click the plus sign (+) next to the My Network tree to expand the tree and view the list of devices. Select the device for which you want to define the optical port settings.
3. From the Tasks pane, select Device Management > View Physical Inventory. A graphical view of the device is displayed on the right pane.
4. Click a particular module to display the associated details in the lower half of the page. The Rotate and Perspective buttons enable you to view the images images in required orientation.
5. Click the Rotate (arrows in a square symbol) icon to cause the device image to continuously rotate along the x-axis.
6. Click the Perspective (cube symbol) icon to display the device image in three-dimensional format. It is a toggle button, which causes the device image to be shown in either three-dimensional or one-dimensional format.
7. Select the level of magnification of the image by clicking the Zoom (magnifying glass) icon. The image is expanded and displayed. Alternatively, use the slider control beneath the Zoom icon to change the level of magnification.
8. Click the home icon to return to the front view of the chassis. The selected interface is surrounded with a colored outline based on the operational status as suggested below. An interface that is operationally up is denoted in green and an interface that is operationally down is represented in red. The components are depicted as small colored icons at the top left corner of the front-view equipment image.

In the graphical image of the device displayed, you can mouse over the different parts of the device, such as the interfaces, line cards, and slots. When you mouse over the different modules, their corresponding details are displayed as tooltips. On clicking the device components, the corresponding description for the selected component is displayed by default under the Component Info pane and the Equipment tab with the following values.

• Manufacturer—Name of the company that built and shipped the device.

• Part number—Part number of the chassis component.

• Serial number—Serial number of the chassis component. The serial number of the backplane is also the serial number of the router or switch chassis. Use this serial number when you need to contact Juniper Networks Customer Support about the router or switch chassis.

When you select any physical interface configured on the DPCs or PICs or MICs provisioned, the following fields are displayed for the corresponding component for each interface. The interface is surrounded by a colored box to show the Operational Status.

The Component Info pane and the Active Alarms monitor are displayed in the lower half of the page.

The Active Alarms monitor shows any active alarm that has not yet been cleared. You can view the alarm name, the unique identifier assigned to the alarm, the person to which the alarm is assigned for corrective action, and the severity of the alarm. Click the Launch Alarm Mgmt icon (right upward-slanting arrow enclosed in a square) to navigate to the Fault mode and view the four standard alarm monitors available in Fault mode.

Active Alarms for the respective components are displayed when the component is clicked in the graphical image of the chassis displayed. The components for which the alarms are displayed are Flexible Port Concentrator (FPC), Dense Port Concentrator (DPC), Physical Interface Card (PIC), Modular Interface Card (MIC), Routing Engine, Control Boards, fan trays, Switch Interface Board (SIB), and power supply module (PSM).

The following fields are displayed in the Active Alarms pane:

The following fields are displayed in the Component Info pane:

A redundant Ethernet interface is a pseudointerface that includes at minimum one physical interface from each node of the cluster. A redundant Ethernet interface must contain, at minimum, a pair of Fast Ethernet interfaces or a pair of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces that are referred to as child interfaces of the redundant Ethernet interface (the redundant parent). If two or more child interfaces from each node are assigned to the redundant Ethernet interface, a redundant Ethernet interface link aggregation group must be formed.

A pseudowire subscriber logical interface terminates an MPLS pseudowire tunnel from an access node to the MX Series router that hosts subscriber management, and enables you to perform subscriber management services at the interface. Subscriber management supports the creation of subscriber interfaces over E-Line MPLS pseudowires. The pseudowire subscriber interface capability enables service providers to extend an MPLS domain from the access-aggregation network to the service edge, where subscriber management is performed. Service providers can take advantage of MPLS capabilities such as failover, rerouting, and uniform MPLS label provisioning, while using a single pseudowire to service a large number of DHCP and PPPoE subscribers in the service network.

The following table describes the fields displayed in the Pseudo Interfaces pane.

The logical interfaces configured on each interface are also shown along with the physical interface description in a tabular format. The following table describes the details displayed for logical interfaces.

From the chassis view window, click the Details icon (arrow enclosed in a square) at the top-right corner of the window to open the Chassis View Details page that lists the configured devices and their parameters in the form of a table.

The following fields are displayed on the right pane, depending on the component or element of the chassis you selected from the chassis image displayed.
