Action

To display more detailed SSB status information, use the following CLI command:

user@host> show chassis ssb

Sample Output

user@host> show chassis ssb

SSB status:

  Failover:                      0 time

  Slot 0:

    State:                         Master

    Temperature:                33 Centigrade

    CPU utilization:             0 percent

    Interrupt utilization:       0 percent

    Heap utilization:            0 percent

    Buffer utilization:          6 percent

    DRAM:                       64 Mbytes

    Start time:                    1999-01-15 22:05:36 UTC

    Uptime:                        21 hours, 21 minutes, 22 seconds

What It Means

The command output displays the number of times the mastership has changed, the SSB slot number 0 or 1, and the current state of the SSB: Master, Backup, or Empty. The command output displays the temperature of the air passing by the SSB, in degrees Centigrade. It also displays the total percentage of CPU, interrupt, heap space, and buffer space being used by the SSB processor, including the total DRAM available to the SSB processor. The command output displays the time when the SSB started running and how long it has been running.
