LCD Idle Mode

During normal operation, the LCD operates in idle mode and reports current status information, as shown in Figure 12.

The lines in the display report the following information:

• First line—Routing node name.
• Second line—Length of time the router has been running, reported in the following form:

  Up days + hours:minutes

• Third and fourth lines—Status messages, which rotate at two-second intervals. Some conditions, such as removal or insertion of a system component, can interrupt the messages.

To add a message that alternates every 2 seconds with the default status messages, use the set chassis display message command. For more information, see the JUNOS Internet Software Operational Mode Command Reference: Protocols, Class of Service, Chassis, and Management.
