Operational Mode CLI Commands for Router Monitoring

Purpose

Use the operational mode CLI commands listed in Table 3 to monitor router hardware.

Action

Table 3: Operational Mode CLI Commands for Router Monitoring

Command

Description

show version

Displays the router hostname, model number, and version of Junos OS running on the router.

show chassis firmware

Displays the version of firmware running on the SCB, SFM, SSB, FEB, and FPCs.

show chassis hardware

Displays an inventory of the hardware components installed in the router, including the component name, version, part number, serial number, and a brief description.

show chassis environment

Displays environmental information about the router chassis, including the temperature and status.

show chassis environment component-name

Displays more detailed environmental information for the following router components: FPCs, Front Panel Module (FPM), Miscellaneous Subsystem (MCS), PFE Clock Generator (PCG), Power Entry Module (PEM) or power supply, control board, SONET clock generator (SCG), Switch Interface Board (SIB), Routing Engine, and SFM. This command works only on the M40e, M160, and T320 routers, and the T640 routing node.

show chassis craft-interface

Displays operational status information about the router, including the alarm status and LED status of major components.

show chassis alarms

Displays the current router component alarms that have been generated, including the date, time, severity level, and description.

show chassis component-name

Displays more detailed operational status information about the FPCs, Routing Engine, FEB, SCB, SFMs, and SSB router components, including the temperature of air passing by the Switch Plane Processor (SPP) card and the Switch Plane Router (SPR) card (the two SFM serial components), in degrees Centigrade. The command displays the total CPU DRAM and SRAM being used by the SFM processor. The command output displays the time that the SFM became active and how long the SFM has been up and running. A small uptime can indicate a problem.

show log messages

Displays the contents of the messages system log file that records messages generated by component operational events, including error messages generated by component failures.

To monitor the messages file in real time, use the monitor start messages CLI command. This command displays the new entries in the file until you stop monitoring by using the monitor stop messages CLI command.

show log chassisd

Displays the contents of the chassis daemon (chassisd) log file that keeps track of the state of each chassis component

To monitor the chassisd file in real time, use the monitor start chassisd CLI command. This command displays the new entries in the file until you stop monitoring by using the monitor stop chassisd CLI command.

request support information

Use this command when you contact the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) about your component problem. This command is the equivalent of using the following CLI commands (see Contact JTAC):

  • show version
  • show chassis firmware
  • show chassis hardware
  • show chassis environment
  • show interfaces extensive (for each configured interface)
  • show configuration (excluding any SECRET-DATA)
  • show system virtual-memory

Contact JTAC

If you cannot determine the cause of a problem or need additional assistance, contact JTAC at https://www.juniper.net/cm/ or at 1-888-314-JTAC (within the United States) or 1-408-745-9500 (from outside the United States). For details on the information you need to provide for JTAC, See Contact JTAC. For steps to return a failed component, see Return the Failed Component.
