Before you return a router component to Juniper Networks, you must contact the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) with the serial number of the failed component and failure information. JTAC will then grant a Return Materials Authorization (RMA).
To display a list of the serial numbers of components installed in the router chassis, use the following JUNOS command-line interface (CLI) operational mode command:

The sample output is for an M20 and an M40 router. It shows a list of all FPCs and PICs installed in the router chassis, including the hardware version level and serial number.
The detail option displays detailed information about hardware, including memory, hardware version level, serial number, and additional information about memory.
If the Routing Engine is identified by a 10- and 16-digit serial number, both numbers are displayed in the output for the detail option, and are especially important when processing an RMA for such a Routing Engine. In addition, when you request an RMA for the M40 router, include the maxicab serial number.
Table 39 provides a description of all the output fields for the show chassis hardware command.

Note: When you request an RMA, you must also include output from the show chassis environment command, the show version command, and the troubleshooting output used to identify the failure. |
