Backup Routing Engine Alarms
For routers with master and backup Routing Engines, a master Routing Engine can generate alarms for events that occur on a backup Routing Engine. Table 9 lists chassis alarms generated for a backup Routing Engine.
![]() | Note: Because the failure occurs on the backup Routing Engine, alarm severity for some events (such as Ethernet interface failures) is yellow instead of red. |
![]() | Note: For information about configuring redundant Routing Engines, see the Junos High Availability Configuration Guide . |
