Troubleshooting the PTX3000

PTX3000 Troubleshooting Resources Overview

To troubleshoot a PTX3000, you use the Junos OS CLI, alarms, devices connected to the alarm relay contacts, and LEDs on both the components and craft interface.

  • LEDs—When the Routing Engine detects an alarm condition, it lights the red or yellow alarm LED on the craft interface as appropriate. In addition, you can also use LEDs on the faceplate of a component and the FANTRAY LEDs on the craft interface to troubleshoot the PTX3000.

  • Alarm devices connected to the alarm relay contact—When a red or yellow alarm occurs, it trips the corresponding alarm relay contact.

  • CLI—The CLI is the primary tool for controlling and troubleshooting hardware, Junos OS, 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, see the appropriate Junos OS 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.

PTX3000 LED Overview

Craft Interface LEDs

The craft interface displays system status messages and enables you to troubleshoot the PTX3000. See PTX3000 Craft Interface LEDs.

LEDs on the craft interface include:

  • Red (major) and yellow (minor) alarm LEDs—One large red circular LED and one large yellow triangular LED indicate two levels of alarm conditions. You can determine the cause of the alarm condition by looking at the show chassis alarms command.

  • FANTRAY LEDs—One bicolor green and red LED for each fan tray labeled 0 and 1 that indicates the status of each fan tray.

Component LEDs

The following LEDs are located on various PTX3000 components and display the status of those components:

  • Control Board LEDs—Three LEDs on each Control Board faceplate—ACTIVE, OK, and FAIL— indicate the status of that Control Board. Two port LEDs—HOST/ETHERNET and ACT—indicate the port speed and status. LNK LEDs indicate the status of the clocking ports—BITS A and BITS B.

    See PTX3000 Control Board LEDs.

  • FPC LEDs—Each FPC has a STATUS LED that indicate the status of that FPC.

  • PIC LEDs—Each port on each PIC has an LED that indicates the status of the port.

    See the PTX Series Interface Module Reference.

  • PSM LEDs—Four LEDs on each PSM faceplate—Input () 1, input () 2, OK, and fault ()— indicate the status of that PSM.

    See PTX3000 Power Supply Module LEDs .

  • SIB LEDs—Three LEDs on each SIB faceplate—ACTIVE, OK, and FAIL—indicate the status of that SIB.

    See PTX3000 Switch Interface Board LEDs.

PTX3000 Alarm Messages Overview

When the Routing Engine detects an alarm condition, it lights the red or yellow alarm LED on the craft interface as appropriate and trips the corresponding alarm relay contact. To view a more detailed description of the alarm cause, issue the show chassis alarms CLI command:

Chassis alarm messages indicate a problem with a chassis component such as the cooling system or power supplies.

RCB0 is powered off and RCB1 is the primary. Thus graceful Routing Engine switchover occurs.

If the other Routing Engine is not in power-off or halted state, but in an error condition, graceful Routing Engine switchover is not possible using the CLI. This error condition needs manual intervention to ensure that backup Routing Engine is ready to acquire the primary role.

Note:

Graceful Routing Engine Switchover (GRES) between the RE-DUO-C2600-16G Routing Engine and the RCB is not supported as both the Routing Engines are running on different software. The RE-DUO-C2600-16G Routing Engine runs on Junos OS and the RCB works on Junos OS running as a virtual machine over a Linux-based host (VM host).

Note:

The connection between the RCB and the backplane is configured to work at 10GBASE-KR. If a switchover happens between the RE-DUO-C2600-16G Routing Engine and the RCB, the newly-installed RCB is able to connect to the other RCB over 10-Gigabit Ethernet links on the backplane.

Solution

  1. Issue the show chassis alarms command to check for alarms.

  2. Check the ONLINE LED on the Routing Engine-Control Board faceplate. If the ONLINE LED is red, issue the chassis routing-engine command to check the status of the RCB.

  3. Use the show chassis alarms command to display Routing Engine alarms.

If the SSDs do not have a valid Junos OS image, use a USB disk to install an image on the SSDs.

Note:

The Routing and Control Board has a battery which is discharged only when the board is powered off, and the battery has a life of 3.6 years. Therefore, a board which has been powered off either continuously or cumulatively for 3 years or more is at risk of suffering a dead battery. This results in the Real Time Clock (RTC) getting reset and the BIOS setting such as the boot order stored in the CMOS getting cleared.
