The M5 and M10 Internetroutersprovide edge andcore applications for small IP networks
where space and power are at a premium. The routers support the Junos OS, which
provides router configuration and monitoring. (See Figure 1 on page 4.)
Figure 1: M5 and M10 Routers
The M5 and M10 routers include the router-specific Forwarding Engine Board (FEB)
component that provides route lookup, filtering, and sampling, as well as switching to
the destination PIC. The FEB performs the function of the Flexible PIC Concentrators
(FPCs) on other M Series routers. The FEB contains the Internet Processor II
application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC),two distributedBuffer ManagerASICs, and
two I/O Manager ASICs, and is responsible for making forwarding decisions, distributing
packets throughout memory, and forwarding notification of outgoing packets.
The M5 and M10 routers provide a wide range of high-performance interfaces from T1
and E1 through OC12c/STM4 (for the M5 router) or OC48c/STM16 (for the M10 router).
PICs between the tworouters are interchangeable.For moreinformation aboutsupported
PICs and FPCs for each M Series router type, see the appropriate PIC installation guide.
The M5 and M10 router Internet processor II ASIC forwards packets at a throughput rate
of up to 5 Gbps for the M5 router and up to 10 plus Gbps for the M10 router. The ASIC

M7i Multiservice Edge Router Overview
The M7i Multiservice Edge Router provides security and performance in small to medium
Points of Presence (PoPs), as well as a carrier-class customer premise equipment (CPE)
solution for managed services and campus border router applications. (See Figure 2 on
page 6.)
Figure 2: M7i Router
The M7i router includes the Compact Forwarding Engine Board (CFEB) which provides
route lookup, filtering, and switching on incoming data packets, then directs outbound
packets to the appropriate interface for transmission to the network. It can process 16
million packets per second (Mpps). The CFEB communicates with the Routing Engine
using adedicated100-Mbps link that transfers routing table data fromthe RoutingEngine
to the forwarding table. The link is also used to transfer routing link-state updates and
other packets destined for the router from the CFEB to the Routing Engine.
A built-in tunnel interface encapsulates arbitrary packets inside a transport protocol,
providing a private, secure path through an otherwise public network. The built-in tunnel
interface on the CFEB is configured the same way as a PIC. For information about
configuring the built-in tunnel interface, seethe Junos OS Services Interfaces ConfigurationGuide.
The Adaptive Services PIC-Integrated (ASP-I) is an optional component on the CFEB
which performs one or more services on traffic—Stateful firewall, Network Address
Translation (NAT) or intrusion detection services (IDS)—before it reaches its destination.
In addition to accommodating up to four PICs, the M7i router includes a built-in Fixed
Interface Card (FIC) that provides two Fast Ethernet ports or one Gigabit Ethernet port,
depending on which FIC or which model was ordered. For more information about Fast
Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, see the M7i Multiservice Edge Router PIC Guide.
The M7i router supports various PICs, including ATM, channelized, Ethernet, IP services,
and SONET/SDH interfaces. For more information about supported PICs, see the M7iMultiservice Edge Router PIC Guide.
The M7i router provides a maximum aggregate throughput of 8.4 gigabits per second
(Gbps). Control operations in the router are perform Control operations in the router are
performed by the Routing Engine, which runs the Junos OS operating system (OS) to
handle routing protocols, traffic engineering, policy,policing, monitoring,and configuration

backbone core IP networks where switching fabric and Routing Engine redundancy are
required. The M160 router supports Junos OS which provides router configuration and
monitoring. (See Figure 10 on page 21.)
Figure 10: M160 Router
The Type 1 Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs) for the M40e and M160 routers are
interchangeable. The M160 router supports two types of FPCs: FPC1 supports PICs,
including the single-port OC12 and Gigabit Ethernet; and FPC2 supports higher-speed
PICs, including OC48 and Tunnel Services. The router can operate with any combination
of FPC1s and FPC2s installed. For more information about supported PICs and FPCs for
each M Series router type, see the appropriate PIC installation guide.
The M160 router accepts only DC power supplies.
The M160 router can have up to four Switching and Forwarding Modules (SFMs). The
SFMs contain the Internet Processor II application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and
two Distributed BufferManager ASICs, and make forwarding decisions,distribute packets
throughout memory, and forward notification of outgoing packets.
The M160 router includes the host module that constructs routing tables, performs
system management functions, and generates the SONET/SDH clock signal for
SONET/SDH interfaces. The host module contains the Routing Engine and the
MiscellaneousControl Subsystem(MCS). The Routing Engine managesrouting protocols
M Series and T Series Routers Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide
and maintains the routing tables. For a host module to function, both of these
components must be installed and operational.
PICs are available in supported media types, including Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM), Channelized DS3, E1, E3, T1, Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and IP services. The M160
router supports both M160 and M40e PICs. For more information about supported PICs
for each M Series router type, see the appropriate PIC installation guide.
The M160 router Internet Processor II ASIC forwards packets at a throughput rate of up
to 160 Gbps. The ASIC technology provides such packet processing as route lookups,
filtering, sampling, rate limiting, load balancing, buffer management, switching, and
encapsulation and de-encapsulation of IP services.

M320 Multiservice Edge Router Overview
The M320 Multiservice Edge Router is a high-density edge aggregation, routing, and
service creation platform that builds on Juniper Networks service-built edge design.
Constructed with separations between the control plane, forwarding plane, and services
plane, the router supports multiple services on a single platform. The Junos OS runs on
a control subsystem with dedicated hardware, ensuring that control functions are
performed without affecting theforwardingsubsystem. Forwarding andpacket processing
operations in the router are performed by dedicated programmable ASICs that enable
the router to achieve data forwarding rates that match current fiber-optic capacity. This
design eliminates processing and traffic bottlenecks, permitting the router to achieve
high performance. The router can be deployed in core, peering, and data center
applications, but is optimized for dense edge aggregation and service creation. TheM320
router can provide a single point of edge aggregation for thousands of customers over
any access type, including ATM, Frame Relay, Ethernet, and TDM, at any speed from DS0
up to OC192/STM64 and 10-Gigabit Ethernet. (See Figure 11 on page 24.)

The M320 router includes Switch Interface Boards (SIBs) that provide the switching
function to the destination Flexible PIC Concentrator (FPC) at a total of 385 million
packets per second (Mpps) of forwarding. The host subsystem, which consists of the
Routing Engine and Control Board, provides the routingand system management functions
of the router.
The router supportsup to eightFPCs providing SONET/SDHOC-48/STM16,SONET/SDH
OC192/STM64, and160-Gigabit Ethernet media. The router supports three types of FPCs:
FPC1 for hot-swappable M40e PICs, FPC2 for hot-swappable M160 PICs, and FPC3 for
10-Gbps T Series PICs. For more information about supported PICs, see the M320Multiservice Edge Router PIC Guide.
The M320 router provides a maximum aggregate throughput of 320 gigabits per second
(GBps) full duplex. The Junos operating system (OS) runs on a control subsystem with

TX Matrix Router Overview
The Juniper Networks TX Matrix router is the centralized switch fabric of the routing
matrix, which is a terabit routing system interconnecting up to four T640 Core Routers
to deliver up to 2.56 terabits per second (Tbps) of subscriber switching capacity. The
routing matrix multichassis architecture provides scalable growth for aggregation and
core services for voice, video, and data networks. It provides a flexible and cost-effective
means to simplify large point-of-presence (POP) and central office environments. The
routing matrix delivers high-availability services from tunnel services, ATM, DS3,
OC3/STM1, OC12/STM4, Gigabit Ethernet, 10-Gigabit Ethernet, OC48/STM16,
OC192/STM64, and other high-speed interfaces. The routing matrix leverages the
intelligent virtual services capabilities of Junos OS, which enable you to create multiple
application-specific logical networks over a single physical topology. This gives you the
ability to virtually separate traffic types that require unique network attributes—such as
ATM or high-priority voice over IP (VoIP) and third-generation (3G) mobile traffic—from
bulk transit IP traffic.
The TX Matrix router architecture cleanly separates control operations from packet
forwarding operations. This design eliminates processing and traffic bottlenecks,
permitting the TX Matrix router toachieve terabit performance levels. Control operations
in the TX Matrix router are performed by the host subsystem, which runs Junos OS to
handle traffic engineeringand configurationmanagement. High-availability, interchassis
communicationsare provided by an Ethernet LAN that interconnects the host subsystems
in the TX Matrix router and the T640 routers. The TX Matrix router is a modular,
rack-mountable system. One TX Matrix router can be installed in one standard 19-in.
wide, 78-in. high, EIA telco rack. The TX Matrix router supports the Junos OS, which
provides router configuration and monitoring. (See Figure 17 on page 40 and Figure 18 on
The routing matrix has two main architectural components, the control plane and the
forwarding plane:
•
The control plane in the routing matrix is formed by the connection of the host
subsystems—TX-CBs in the TX Matrix router and T-CBs in the T640 routers —and the
Routing Engines.
•
The forwarding plane in the routing matrix is formed by the switch fabric—TX-SIBs in
the TX Matrix router and T640-SIBs in the T640 routers—and the Packet Forwarding
Engines.

M Series and T Series Routers Monitoring and Troubleshooting Guide
The Simple Network ManagementProtocol (SNMP) networkmanager software running
on a network management system (NMS) in the network operations center (NOC)
discovers, polls, and exchanges network management information with the Junos OS
SNMP agent running on Juniper Networks routers. The SNMP network manager software
collects information about router connectivity, operation, and events.
The SNMP agent responds to requests for information and controls access to its
Management Information Bases (MIBs). The MIBs define allobjects that can be managed
on the router via SNMP. The Junos OS chassis MIB provides environmental monitoring
information on the router and its components. MIB objects represent each component
and the status of the components.
A trap is generated and reportedto theSNMP manager softwarewhen a significant event
occurs on the router, such as an error or failure. When a trap occurs, you can log in to that
router to get specific operational status information about the problem; for more
information, see “Check the Router Component Status” on page 60 and “Gather
Component Alarm Information” on page 67. Verify the problem and fix it if possible; for
more information, see “Verify the ComponentProblem”on page 114 and “Fix theProblem”
on page 114.If youcannot verifyor fix the problem,contact theJuniper Networks Technical
Assistance Center (JTAC) for more advanced analysis and troubleshooting, and return
the component once failure is verified; for more information, see “Contact JTAC” on

Purpose
Junos OS
The primary means of accessing and controlling the Junos OS
is the CLI.
For M5, M10, M20, and M40 routers, the router provides three
ports on the craft interface for connecting external
management devices to the Routing Engine and hence to the
Junos OS.
For M40e, M160, M320, T320, T640, T1600, TX Matrix, and
TX Matrix Plus routers, the management ports are located on
the Connector Interface Panel (CIP).
For M7i, M10i, and M120 routers, the management ports are
located on the Routing Engine.
The management ports include the following:
•
Ethernet—Used to connect the Routing Engine to a
management LAN (or any other device that plugs into an
Ethernet connection) for out-of-band management of the
router. The Ethernet port can be 10 or 100 Mbps and uses
an autosensing RJ-45 connector. The Ethernet management
port has two LEDs, which indicate the type of connection in
use. A yellow LED lights when a 10-Mbps connection is
active, and a green LEDlights whena 100-Mbps connection
is active.
•
Console—Used to connect a system console to the Routing
Engine with an RS-232 serial cable.
•
Auxiliary—Used to connect a laptop computer or modem
to the Routing Engine with an RS-232 cable.
Junos OS commands
The Junos OS CLI has two modes: operational and
configuration.
NOTE: You only need to type cli if you log in to the router as
In operational mode, you monitor and troubleshoot the
software, network connectivity, and router by entering
commands. To enter operational mode, log in to the router
and type cli at the command prompt.
•
In configuration mode, you configure the Junos OS that
controls the router. To enter configuration mode:
a. Log in to the router.
b. Start the CLI by typing cli at the command prompt.
c. Type edit at the command prompt.

show chassis craft-interface
The messages system logfile records the messagesgenerated
by component operational events, including error messages
generated by component failures. To view the messages log
file, use the following command:
show log messages
To monitorthe messages log file in real time, use the following
command:

The chassis daemon(chassisd) log file keeps track ofthe state
of each chassis component. To view the chassisd log file, use
the following command:
show log chassisd
To monitor the chassisd log file in real time, use the following
command:
monitor start chassisd
To stop monitoring the chassisd log file, use the following
command:
monitor stop chassisd
Remove the failed component. Replace it with one that you
know works. Check the component status. If the replacement
component works, it confirms that the original one failed.

Common Operational Mode Commands To Monitor Router Components
NOTE: If the Forwarding Engine Board (FEB) on M5, M10 and M120 routers,
CFEB on M10i routers, SSB on M20 routers, SCB on M40 routers, SFM on
M40e and M160 routers, or SIB on M320 , T320 , T640, T1600, TX Matrix,
and TX Matrix Plus routers is not running and if you log in to the backup
Routing Engine, no information about chassis componentsis available through
the CLI.
To use the CLI to monitor routers:
1. Log in to the router.
2. At the command prompt, type cli to start the Junos OS and enter operational mode.
NOTE: Youonly need to type cli if you log in to the routeras root. Otherwise,
