Managing the Routing Matrix as a Single Router
Although a routing matrix can contain multiple separate physical components, from the perspective of the user interface, the routing matrix appears as a single router for most operations and uses the existing Junos OS CLI.
To manage the multichassis system, some enhancements have been made to the CLI to enable you to select the amount of output you want to display when you issue operational commands. For example, you can specify the entire routing matrix, the TX Matrix Plus router, a specific T1600 or T4000 router and its Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), or a combination thereof.
When you issue configuration and operational commands on a TX Matrix Plus router, your view of the routing matrix shows a single routing device with a single range of FPC numbers (from 0 through 31 or from 0 through 63 rather than from 0 through 7 for each FPC). As a result, you will need to adjust certain configuration statements to accommodate the global numbering of FPCs installed on the routing matrix. When you include the fpc statement at the [edit chassis lcc lcc-number] hierarchy level, specify the FPC hardware slot number (0 through 7) as labeled on the T1600 or the T4000 router chassis. Do not specify the corresponding global FPC number.
