Checking the MCS Status

This section provides a brief description of monitoring the MCS as part of the host module on M40e and M160 routers. For a more information about monitoring the MCS, see Monitoring the MCS.

Action

To monitor the MCS status, use the following CLI command:

user@host> show chassis environment mcs

Output

user@host> show chassis environment mcs

MCS 0 status:

  State                           Online Master

  Temperature                  43 degrees C / 109 degrees F

  Power:

    3.3 V                    3318 mV

    5.0 V                    4974 mV

    12.0 V                  11824 mV

    5.0 V bias               4974 mV

    8.0 V bias               8212 mV

  BUS Revision                 12

  FPGA Revision                13

MCS 1 status:

  State                           Online Standby

  Temperature                  58 degrees C / 136 degrees F

  Power:

    3.3 V                    3317 mV

    5.0 V                    5006 mV

    12.0 V                  11843 mV

    5.0 V bias               4998 mV

    8.0 V bias               8195 mV

  BUS Revision                 12

  FPGA Revision               255

What It Means

The show chassis environment mcs CLI command is available on the M40e and M160 routers only. The command output displays environmental information about both MCSs installed in the router or about an individual MCS. It displays the MCS status: Present, Online, Offline, or Empty. The command also indicates whether the MCS is master. The command output displays the temperature of the air flowing past the MCS, information about MCS power supplies, field programmable gate array (FPGA) revision information, and the revision level of the chassis management bus (CMB) slave.
