Check the Router Component Status

Purpose

When you check the router craft interface, the component LEDs, and the environmental and operational information, you are either physically inspecting the components or obtaining output about their status from commands you issue from the command-line interface (CLI).

To check router component status, follow these steps:

  1. Check the Router Craft Interface
  2. Check the Component LEDs
  3. Display Detailed Component Environmental Information
  4. Display Detailed Operational Information About Components

Check the Router Craft Interface

Purpose

To confirm that the craft interface is functioning properly by checking the alarm indicator status or by checking the craft interface physically.

Action

To check the craft interface information for router status, do one of the following:


Check the Component LEDs

Purpose

To confirm that the component LEDs are functioning properly by checking either that the output messages, physically checking the craft interface or examining the LEDs on the component faceplate.

Action

To check the component LED status, do one of the following:


Display Detailed Component Environmental Information

Purpose

To check the component environmental information for the uptime to determine if it is functioning properly.

Action

To display detailed environmental status information about a component, use the following CLI command:

user@host> show chassis environment component-name

The command output displays the temperature of the air passing by the component, in degrees Centigrade. It also displays the total percentage of CPU, interrupt, heap space, and buffer space being used by the component processor, including the total DRAM available to the component processor. The command output displays the time when the component started running and how long the component has been running. A short uptime can indicate a problem with the component.

For examples of sample output, see the Junos System Basics and Services Command Reference.

Table 20 lists the operational mode CLI commands that display more detailed information for each router and platform component.

Display Detailed Operational Information About Components

Purpose

To check the component environmental information for the uptime to determine if it is functioning properly.

Action

To display detailed operational information about a component, use the following CLI command:

user@host> show chassis component-name

The command output displays the temperature of the air passing by the component, in degrees Centigrade and Fahrenheit. It displays the total percentage of CPU, interrupt, heap space, and buffer space being used by the component processor, including the total DRAM available to the component processor. The command output displays the time when the component started running and how long the component has been running. A short uptime can indicate a problem with the component.

For examples of sample output, see the Junos System Basics and Services Command Reference.
