PTX10004 Routing and Control Board Components and Descriptions

The Routing and Control Board (RCB) is an integrated board and a single field-replaceable unit (FRU) that provides Routing Engine and Control Board (CB) functionality. The Routing Engine performs all route-processing functions, whereas the CB performs chassis control and management plane functionality. The RCB provides control plane functions. You can install one or two RCBs on the router. Each RCB functions as a unit.

PTX10004 Routing and Control Board Description

The PTX10004 Routing and Control Board (RCB) is responsible for system management (see Figure 1). The chassis can run with one or two RCBs. We ship the base configuration with one RCB, and you can expand the configuration with a second RCB for a fully redundant system. When two RCBs are installed, one functions as the primary RCB and the second as a backup. If the primary RCB is removed, the backup RCB becomes the primary if graceful Routing Engine switchover (GRES) is configured.

PTX10004 routers support the following Routing Engines:

JNP10K-RE1-E (64 GB, standard)
JNP10K-RE1-E128 (128 GB, spare)

Routing and Control Board Functions

The RCB integrates the control plane and Routing Engine functions into a single management unit. Each RCB provides all the functions needed to manage the operation of the modular chassis:

System control functions such as environmental monitoring
Routing Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols
Communication to all components such as line cards, Switch Interface Boards (SIBs), and power and cooling
Transparent clocking
Alarm and logging functions

Routing and Control Board Components

Each RCB consists of the following internal components:

10 Core 2.2 GHz CPU
64 GB SDRAM or 128 GB SDRAM
2x 200GB M.2 SSD

Other standard features are shown in Figure 2.

PTX10004 Routing and Control Board LEDs

The JNP10K-RE1-E Routing and Control Board (RCB) has various types of LED indicators (see Figure 3).

Routing and Control Board Status Panel LEDs

The RCB status panel LEDs indicate the state of the RCB (see Figure 4).

Figure 4: Routing and Control Board Status Panel LEDs and Button

1 — Power (PWR) LED	3 — Primary (MST) LED
2 — Status (STS) LED	4 — Offline (OFF) button

Table 2 describes the LEDs on the RCB status panel.

Table 2: Routing and Control Board Status LEDs
LED	Color	State	Description
PWR (Power)	Green	On steadily	The RCB is receiving adequate power.
	Yellow	Blinking	The RCB has detected an error.
	None	Unlit	The RCB is not powered up.
STS (Status)	Green	On steadily	The RCB is online and functioning correctly.
	Green	Blinking	The beacon feature is enabled.
	Yellow	Blinking	The RCB has detected an error.
	None	Unlit	The RCB is not receiving power.
MST (Primary)	Green	On steadily	The RCB is the primary RCB.
MST (Primary)	None	Unlit	The RCB is the backup RCB.

PTX10004 Management Port LEDs

The two management ports on the RCB of a PTX10004 have LEDs that indicate link status and link activity. These two ports, located on the RCB panel between the clocking connections and the USB port, are both labeled MGMT. The left management port (RJ-45) is for 10/100/1000 BASE-T connections, and the right port (SFP) is for 10/100/1000 BASE-T and small form-factor pluggable (SFP) 1000 BASE-X connections (see Figure 5). The copper (RJ-45) port has separate LEDs for status and activity. The fiber (SFP) port has a combination link and activity LED.

Table 3 describes the RJ-45 management port LEDs, and Table 4 describes the SFP status LED.

Table 3: RJ-45 Management Port LEDs on a PTX10004 Routing and Control Board
LED	Color	State	Description
Port speed	Unlit	Off	The port speed is 10 MB.
	Green	Blinking	The port speed is 100 MB.
	Green	On steadily	The port speed is 1000 MB.
Link/Activity/Status	Unlit	Off	No link is established, there is a fault, or the link is down.
	Green	On steadily	A link is established.
	Green	Blinking	There is link activity.
	Yellow	Blinking or flickering	The beacon feature is enabled.
