To bring an SFM online, use the following CLI command:

user@host> request chassis sfm slot slot-number online

Sample Output

user@host> request chassis sfm slot 0 online

Online initiated, use "show chassis sfm" to verify

For M40e routers:

What It Means

The sample output confirms that the SFM online command has been initiated and specifies to use the show chassis sfm CLI command to verify that the SFM is online. The command output shows that the SFM is present and that the values for the SFM status are 0 for approximately 5 seconds until the SFM is active.
