Re: [j-nsp] MX480 SCB firmware issue
It could also be a hardware issue in either the referenced scb0 or back connector. Have you tried the following: Re-seat the scb in its slot, and then check for bent pins at this time (you can use a flashlight) Swap the scb0 with a spare (Or borrow one from another slot 1, 2) Cheers, Masood On Tue, Dec 30, 2014 at 5:29 AM, Dave Peters - Terabit Systems d...@terabitsystems.com wrote: Thanks a lot for the information.

[j-nsp] MX480 SCB firmware issue
Hi all-- Pardon my stupidity, but I'm getting the following error on a new (purchased used) SCB for an MX480 running the recommended software release (12.3R6.6): 1 alarm currently active Alarm time Class Description 2014-12-23 21:50:13 UTC Major CB 0 FPGA Revision unsupported In looking over the Juniper documentation, there's a request system firmware command to update the SCB, but unfortunately, I'm not seeing that option (meaning request system ? doesn't reveal firmware as a possibility). I'm also not seeing any specific BIOS/firmware files in the download section of the Juniper MX Series portion of the Juniper website. Can anyone take pity on me and give me some pointers on how to update the firmware and clear that error? As always, much appreciated. --Dave Peters ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
