Maintaining the MX80 MICs

Purpose

For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the MICs.

Action

On a regular basis:

  • Check the LEDs on MIC faceplates. The meaning of the LED states differ for various MICs. For more information, see the MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers Line Card Guide. If the router detects a MIC failure, the router generates an alarm message to be sent to the Routing Engine.
  • Issue the CLI show chassis fpc pic-status command. The MIC slots in the modular MX80 router are numbered 1/MIC 0 and 1/MIC 1. The fixed MIC is numbered 0/MIC 0.
