Release Information

Command introduced before Junos OS Release 7.4.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0 for EX Series switches.

Command introduced in Junos OS Release 12.3 for ACX4000 Routers.

Description

Control the operation of the PIC.

Note: The request chassis pic (offline | online) fpc-slot slot number pic-slot slot-number command is not supported for built-in PICs on MX Series routers.

To view a list of built-in PICs on the router or switch chassis, use the show chassis hardware command.

Note: T1600 routers and TX Matrix Plus routers with 100-Gigabit Ethernet PICs require two adjacent PIC slots, 0 and 1, for each PIC. Therefore, only online and offline command options to PIC slot 0 are allowed. Use of the online and offline command options for PIC slot 1 with the described router and PIC combination is not allowed.

Note: In T Series routers, when the PIC state is set from offline to online or vice-versa before the processing is complete for the previous command, you are provided feedback on the status of your request. The following sample messages are displayed if you try to set a PIC offline or online:

user@switch> request chassis pic fpc-slot 1 pic-slot 0 online
fpc 1 pic 0 online initiated, use "show chassis fpc pic-status" to verify
user@switch> request chassis pic fpc-slot 1 pic-slot 0 online
FPC 1 PIC 0 already transitioning to online

When the same PIC is set to a different state while the transition is in progress, you are provided feedback on the status of your request.

user@switch> request chassis pic fpc-slot 1 pic-slot 0 offline
FPC 1, PIC 0 already transitioning to online.  Please retry later.

Options

offline

Take the PIC offline.

online

Bring the PIC online.

fpc-slot slot-number

Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) slot number. Replace slot-number with a value appropriate for your router or switch:

  • ACX4000 routers—1 or 2.
  • EX Series switches:
    • EX3200 switches and EX4200 standalone switches—0.
    • EX4200 switches in a Virtual Chassis configuration—0 through 9 (switch’s member ID).
    • EX8208 switches—0 through 7 (line card).
    • EX8216 switches—0 through 15 (line card).
  • M5, M7i, M10, and M10i routers—0 or 1.
  • M20 routers—0 through 3.
  • M120 routers—0 through 5.
  • MX960 routers—0 through 11.
  • M40, M40e, M160, M320, T320, T640, and T1600 routers—0 through 7.
  • TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers only—On a TX Matrix router, if you specify the number of the T640 router by using the lcc number option (the recommended method), replace slot-number with a value from 0 through 7. Otherwise, replace slot-number with a value from 0 through 31.

    Likewise, on a TX Matrix Plus router, if you specify the number of the T1600 router by using the lcc number option (the recommended method), replace slot-number with a value from 0 through 7. Otherwise, replace slot-number with a value from 0 through 31. For example, the following commands have the same result:

    user@host> request chassis pic fpc-slot 1 lcc 1 pic-slot 0 offlineuser@host> request chassis pic fpc-slot 9 pic-slot 0 offline
pic-slot slot-number

PIC slot number. For the M Series router, the T640 router, the T1600 router, the TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers, it can be 0, 1, 2, or 3. On the MX960 router, slot-number corresponds to the slot number of the Packet Forwarding Engine. For the T320 router, it can be 0 or 1. For EX3200 and EX4200 switches, it is 0 for built-in network interfaces and 1 for interfaces on uplink modules. For EX8208 and EX8216 switches, it is 0.

lcc number

(TX Matrix and TX Matrix Plus routers only) (Optional) On a TX Matrix router, control the PIC in a specified T640 router that is connected to the TX Matrix router. On a TX Matrix Plus router, control the PIC in a specified T1600 router that is connected to the TX Matrix Plus router. Replace number with a value from 0 through 3.
