Troubleshooting PTX5000 Components

PTX5000 Troubleshooting Resources Overview

To troubleshoot a PTX5000, you use the Junos OS command-line interface (CLI), LCD, 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 the component-specific LEDs on the craft interface and on the faceplate of a component to troubleshoot the PTX5000.

  • LCD—When a red or yellow alarm occurs, the cause of the alarm messages is displayed on the craft interface LCD. Use the CLI to display more information about the alarm.

  • 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 the 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.

PTX5000 LED Overview

Craft Interface LEDs

The craft interface displays system status messages and allows you to troubleshoot the PTX5000. See PTX5000 Craft Interface LEDs.

Note:

The FPC LEDs are located on the FPC faceplate.

LEDs on the craft interface include:

  • Red and yellow 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 LCD on the craft interface.

  • SIB LEDs—One bicolor green and red OK indicates the status of each SIB. One green (ACT) LED indicates if the SIB is active and passing traffic. The SIB LEDs are located on the left of the craft interface, and are labeled SIB0 through SIB8.

  • Host subsystem LEDs—Three LEDs (one green MASTER, one green OK, and one red FAIL) indicate the status of each host subsystem. The host subsystem LEDs are located on the upper right of the craft interface, and are labeled HOST0 and HOST1.

  • CCG LEDs—Three LEDs (one green MASTER, one green OK, and one red FAIL) indicate the status of each host subsystem. The CCG LEDs are located on the upper left of the craft interface, and are labeled CCG0 and CCG1.

  • Fan tray LEDs—One bicolor green and red LED for each fan tray labeled 0, 1, and 2 that indicates the status of the fan tray.

  • PDU LEDs—One bicolor green and red OK LED for each PDU labeled 0 and 1, which indicates the status of the PDU.

  • PSM LEDs—One bicolor green and red LED for each PSM labeled 0 and, 1, 2, and 3, which indicates the status of the PSM.

    • For an FPC and a SIB that are online, the Down state indicates that the link between an FPC and a SIB is powered down. The Down state for the links can also indicate that an FPC or a SIB is offline.

    • The Error state indicates that the link between an FPC and a SIB is not operational. The partner link may be in the Down or OK state. If the state of the link is Error, replace the FPC and SIB with a spare to determine if the fault follows the FPC or SIB. After removing an FPC or a SIB, inspect the FPC or SIB connectors for bent pins. If the FPC or SIB is faulty, return it. Before installing a spare FPC or SIB, use a flashlight to inspect the midplane for bent pins. If any pins on the midplane appear to be bent, contact JTAC immediately.

  3. Display the system log messages to obtain information about link failures. The /var/log/messages file is a commonly configured destination for system log messages. To display it, issue the show log messages command. For example:

    For more information about system log messages, see the System Log Explorer.

    Your customer support representative can assist you with using the information in the system log to determine if you have a faulty SIB or FPC.

  4. Use the show chassis fabric fpcs command to check that the fabric planes are enabled.

  5. Use the show chassis fabric plane-location command to display which SIBs correspond to the planes.

  6. Use the show chassis fabric match error command.

Troubleshooting the PTX5000 FPCs

Problem

Description

Alarms listed in Table 17 and Table 18 indicate a problem with an FPC.

Solution

To troubleshoot an FPC:

  1. Look at the display on the craft interface to check the status of the FPC and the PICs that are plugged into it.

  2. Issue the show chassis alarms command.

  3. Verify that the FPC is properly seated in the midplane. Check that each ejector handle has been turned clockwise and is tight. Use a screwdriver to check that the screws inside the ejector handles are tight.

  4. Check the status of an FPC using the following CLI command:

  5. To determine the cause of link errors between the FPCs and SIBs, use the show chassis fabric summary command to check the status of the FPCs and SIBs.

  6. Use the following show chassis fpc detail command to display more detailed information. The following examples specify a slot number, which is optional:

    The output states indicate the following:

    • Diagnostics—The FPC failed to initialize.

    • No power—The FPC is not receiving enough power. Check the chassisd messages for power allocation information.

    • Offlined due to config—Check if the FPC is configuration to be off. See Configuring a FPC to Stay Offlinepower.

    • Unresponsive—There might be a hardware failure on the FPC. Reseat the FPC and reboot.
