Troubleshooting the PTX10003
PTX10003 Troubleshooting Resources Overview
To troubleshoot a PTX10003, you use the Junos OS Evolved CLI, alarms, and LEDs on the network ports, management panel, and components.
LEDs—When the Routing Engine detects an alarm condition, it lights the red or yellow alarm LED on the management panel as appropriate. In addition, you can also use component LEDs and network port LEDs to troubleshoot the PTX10003. For more information, see the following topics:
CLI—The CLI is the primary tool for controlling and troubleshooting hardware, Junos OS Evolved, routing protocols, and network connectivity. CLI commands display information from routing tables, information specific to routing protocols, and information about network connectivity derived from the ping and traceroute utilities. For information about using the CLI to troubleshoot Junos OS Evolved, see the appropriate Junos OS Evolved configuration guide.
JTAC—If you need assistance during troubleshooting, you can contact the Juniper Networks Technical Assistance Center (JTAC) by using the Web or by telephone. If you encounter software problems, or problems with hardware components not discussed here, contact JTAC.

PTX10003 System Alarm Messages and Recommended Actions
System alarms indicate a failure on the device or one of its components. System alarms are preset and cannot be modified.
System alarms on PTX10003 routers have two severity levels:
Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the device that has resulted from one of the conditions described in Table 1. A red alarm condition requires immediate action.
Minor (yellow or amber)—Indicates a noncritical condition on the device that, if left unchecked, might cause an interruption in service or degradation in performance. A yellow alarm condition requires monitoring or maintenance.
Table 1 describes the system alarm messages on the PTX10003.
