Viewing Craft Interface Information from the Command Line

If the craft interface fails, you can still display the craft interface information from the CLI. The values reflect what would be visible if the craft interface were operating normally.

Action

To display craft interface information, use the following CLI command:

user@host> show chassis craft-interface

Sample Output

user@host> show chassis craft-interface

WARNING: Front panel not present.  The following values

         reflect what would be currently visible.

Red alarm:     LED on, relay on

Yellow alarm:  LED on, relay on

Host OK LED:   On

Host fail LED: Off

FPCs     0  1  2  3

What It Means

The command output displays the information that is currently displayed on the craft interface, including the alarm indicator status, the component status, and the alarm messages currently displayed on the LCD display. The command output is for an M20 router. A craft interface failure generates a red alarm, and you see an fpx0: link down alarm in the LCD screen output. The fpx0 interface or the Ethernet management interface provides an out-of-band method of connecting to the router from the craft interface.
