Maintaining MX960 FPCs
Purpose
The router can have one Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) installed vertically in two DPC slots at the front of the chassis. For optimum router performance, verify the condition of the FPC.
Action
On a regular basis:
Check the LEDs on the craft interface directly above the FPC. The green LED labeled OK lights steadily when an FPC is functioning normally.
Check the OK/FAIL LED on the FPC. If the FPC detects a failure, the FPC sends an alarm message to the Routing Engine.
Issue the CLI
show chassis fpccommand to check the status of the installed FPC. As shown in the sample output, the value Online in the column labeled State indicates that the FPC is functioning normally:user@host> show chassis fpc Temp CPU Utilization (%) Memory Utilization (%) Slot State (C) Total Interrupt DRAM (MB) Heap Buffer 0 Online 24 3 0 1024 13 21 1 Empty 2 Online 41 9 0 1024 15 57 3 Online 43 5 0 1024 16 57 4 Online 43 11 0 1024 16 57 5 Online 41 9 0 1024 15 57 6 Online 43 5 0 1024 16 57 7 Empty 8 Empty 9 Empty 10 Online 24 3 0 1024 13 21 11 EmptyFor more detailed output, add the detail option.
