Understanding the Routing Engine

Purpose
What Is a Routing
Engine
Inspect the Routing Engine to ensure that key system processes are operating
normally.
The Routing Engine is a key component in the router. It is primarily responsible for
the protocol intelligence of the router. Thus, it is responsible for creating a routing
table, which consists of all routes learned by all protocols running on the router. The
Routing Engine interprets the routing table, generates a subset of routes to be used
for all forwarding purposes, and places them in the forwarding table. The Routing
Engine also holds the microcode for the Packet Forwarding Engine.
The Routing Engine is responsible for user interaction functions, such as the
command-line interface (CLI), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
management, and craft interface interaction.
The Routing Engine consists of the following components:
Intel Pentium compact Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) platform
Nonrotating compact flash drive (RAM disk)
Standard rotating hard drive
Removable media drive
The JUNOS software resides on the compact flash drive, with an alternate copy
residing on the system hard drive.

PC CARD
On the M40 Internet router, the Routing Engine module resides in a metal housing
at the back of the chassis, below the fans, in a compartment behind the card cage
(see Figure 40).
The M40 router supports three Routing Engine models: RE-M40 (RE1), RE-333
(RE2), and RE-600 (RE3). See Table 32 on page 128.
All M40 routers shipped before mid-2001 had RE-M40 Routing Engines. All M40
routers shipped after mid-2001 have the RE-333 Routing Engine and housing. You
could also upgrade to the RE-600 (RE3) Routing Engine.
The RE-333 and the RE-600 Routing Engines share the same housing, which is
different from the RE-M40. Therefore, if you want to upgrade from an RE-M40 to an
RE-333 or RE-600, you must also upgrade the Routing Engine housing.
NOTE: Effective July 15, 2001, the RE-M40 Routing Engine was replaced by the
RE-333 Routing Engine, which was made available with JUNOS software, release
4.2. After July 15, 2004, the RE-M40 Routing Engine is no longer supported. See
Routing Engine Characteristics Per Routing Platform on page 128.
See also the End-of-sale and End-of-service Announcement for the M40 routing
platform and products at https://www.juniper.net/support/eol/.
132
If you upgrade the Routing Engine housing, the PCMCIA card slot is not accessible
and you must use the LS-120 PC card. If you want to install a new version of the
JUNOS software, you must use the LS-120 drive.
You can replace the entire Routing Engine housing or just the Routing Engine.

Routing Engine Component Companionship

On the M10i router, the Routing Engine works with its companion High-Availability
Chassis Manager (HCM) to provide control and monitoring functions for router
components. For more information about the HCM, see Monitoring the HCM on
page 431. For more information about monitoring Redundant HCMs, see
Monitoring Redundant HCMs on page 623.
For information about monitoring redundant Routing Engines, see Host
Redundancy Overview on page 463 and Monitoring Redundant Routing Engines
on page 491.
On the M40e and M160 routers, the host module provides the routing and system
management functions. The host module consists of the Routing Engine and the
Miscellaneous Control Subsystem (MCS). For more information about the host
module, see Monitoring the Host Module on page 341. For more information
about the MCS, see Monitoring the MCS on page 359.
On the M320 router, T320 router, and T640 routing node, the host subsystem
provides the routing and system management functions. The host subsystem
consists of the Routing Engine and the Control Board. For more information about
the host subsystem, see Monitoring the Host Subsystem on page 289. For
information about the Control Boards, see Monitoring the Control Board on
page 301.
For more detailed information about the Routing Engine, see the appropriate router
hardware guide.
Routing Engine Boot Devices

Generally the router boots on the primary boot device, which is the flash disk. This
device contains the current router configuration and the last three committed
configurations in the juniper.conf, juniper.conf.1.gz, juniper.conf.2.gz, and
juniper.conf.3.gz files, respectively. These files are located in the /config directory.
If the flash disk fails, the router attempts to boot from the hard disk, which is the
alternate boot device.
If a removable media is installed when the router boots, the router attempts to boot
the image on it. If the booting fails, the router tries the flash drive and then the hard
disk.
135
If the router boots from an alternate boot device, the JUNOS software displays a
message indicating this when you log in to the router. For example, this message
shows that the software booted from the hard disk (/dev/ad2s1a):
login: username
Password: password
Last login: date on terminal
--- JUNOS 6.4 R1 built date
----- NOTICE: System is running on alternate media device (/dev/ad1).
Routing Engine Storage Media

The router has three forms of storage media:
Flash drive, which is a nonrotating drive. When a new router is shipped from
the factory, the JUNOS software is preinstalled on the flash drive.
Hard disk, which is a rotating drive. When a new router is shipped from the
factory, the JUNOS software is preinstalled on the hard disk. This drive is also
used to store system log files and diagnostic dump files.
Removable media, either a PC card or an LS-120 floppy disk. The removable
media that ships with each router contains a copy of the JUNOS software.
Table 43 on page 154 shows the storage media device names (as of JUNOS release
5.x and above) by Routing Engine type.

What It Means
The M10i router craft interface command output displays the LED status of the
master Routing Engine, indicating whether the OK and Fail LEDs are on or off. It also
displays that the backup Routing Engine is active.
The M20 router craft interface command output displays the LED status of the
master Routing Engine, indicating whether the OK and Fail LEDs are on or off.
The M40e and M160 router craft interface command output also displays the LED
status of both the master and backup host modules that include the master and
backup Routing Engines. By default, the master host module (Host 0) has
components installed in slots RE0 and MCS0; the backup host module (Host 1) has
components installed in slots RE1 and MCS1.
The T640 routing node craft interface command output indicates that RE0 is the
master Routing Engine, and that it is active. The status under the backup Routing
Engine (RE1) has no indicators.
148
Verifying Routing Engine Failure

NOTE: Routing Engine failures can include compact flash failure and hard disk
failure. If the Routing Engine has a compact flash failure and hard disk failure at
the same time, you will not be able to boot up the Routing Engine.
The following sections describe how to check for the following failure conditions:
NOTE: The M7i and M10i routers by default come with no compact flash.
Steps To Follow
1. Check Core Files If the Routing Engine Reboots on page 149

2. Example of Boot Messages If Routing Engine Fails to Boot on page 150
3. Check for Compact Flash Media and Hard Disk Failure on page 150
Step 1: Check Core Files If the Routing Engine Reboots

List the Core Files Generated After A Crash Occurs
A vmcore file is only generated if the Routing Engine has a kernel crash. Kernel
crashes can be generated by such things as a bug in the kernel software or bad
memory. If the router has a kernel crash, the vmcore.<n> file is generated while the
Routing Engine comes back up.
Action
A vmcore file is always saved in /var/crash/. To view the core file that is generated
when a crash occurs, use the following CLI command:
user@host> file list /var/crash/ detail
Sample Output
user@host> file list /var/crash/ detail

/var/crash/:
total 892856

-rw------- 1 root wheel 805240832 May 14 2004 vmcore.1
What It Means
The command output lists the vmcore.<n> files that have been generated.
149
Display the Messages Log File After A Crash Occurs

Action
You might see the following in the /var/log/messages file after the router comes
back up after a kernel crash occurred. To view the messages log file, use the
user@host> show log messages
Sample Output

Mar 9 12:22:02 host savecore: Router crashed.....
Mar 9 12:22:02 host savecore: reboot after panic: Loss of soft watchdog Mar 9 12:22:02 host savecore: system went
down at Sun Mar 9 12:22:02 2003 Mar 9 12:22:02 host savecore: Selective dump will be saved now
What It Means
A kernel crash occurred and a core file has been generated.
Example of When No Core File Is Generated

When a power outage occurs, no kernel crash core file is generated. To view the
messages log file, use the following CLI command:
Sample Output

Aug 15 15:35:58 host /kernel: checking for core dump...
Aug 15 15:35:59 host /kernel: savecore: Router rebooted. Cause unknown....
Aug 15 15:35:59 host savecore: Router rebooted. Cause unknown....
What It Means
The kernel checks for a core dump file when the router reboots.
Example of Boot Messages If Routing Engine Fails to Boot

The following example shows boot messages that occur when a Routing Engine
remains in a constant boot loop. In this condition, contact JTAC for further analysis
and assistance.
Trying to boot from PCMCIA Flash Card ...
Trying to boot from Compact Flash ...
Trying to boot from Ethernet ...
Step 2: Check for Compact Flash Media and Hard Disk Failure
If the Routing Engine has a compact flash failure, the router boots from the hard
disk. When you log in to the router, the JUNOS software CLI will indicate that the
router has booted from alternate media.
If the Routing Engine has a hard drive failure, the router boots from the compact
flash as usual. However, the router cannot write to the hard drive.
150
When the Compact Flash Is Removed from the Boot List

You can have a compact flash error when conditions, such as a HARD READ error
occurs. When the compact flash is removed from the boot list, the following
message displays you log in to the router:
login: user
--- JUNOS 6.0R1.6 built 2003-09-24 04:06:27 UTC

ad1 (the hard disk) has the root file system mounted.
Determine Why Compact Flash Did Not Mount

Action
To determine why the compact-flash did not get mounted, use the following CLI
command:
user@host> show system boot-messages | match "ad0|ad1"
ad0: not attached, missing in Boot List
ad1: 28615MB <FUJITSU MHS2030AT> [58140/16/63] at ata0-slave using BIOSDMA Mounting root from
ufs:/dev/ad1s1a
What It Means
The command output shows that the compact flash (ad0) was removed from the
boot list.
When the Hard Disk Is Removed from the Boot List

The following boot messages list on the console shows symptoms that signify a
hard disk failure. These messages are not in the boot-messages log file.
Sample Output
/dev/ad1s1f: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.

under the /tmp/var directory, and is mounted on the mfs partition.
Verify That the Hard Disk Is Missing from The Boot List
Action
To verify that the hard disk (ad1) is missing from the boot list, use the following CLI
command:
Sample Output

ad0: 122MB <SanDisk SDCFB-128> [980/8/32] at ata0-master using PIO4
ad1: not attached, missing in Boot List
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
What It Means
The device is taken out of the boot list because of an error condition, such as a
HARD READ errror.
View Alarms When Media Is Removed from the Boot List

Action
To display an alarm that is generated when media (compact flash or hard disk) is
removed from the boot list, use the following CLI command:
user@host> show chassis alarms
Sample Output

1 alarms currently active
Alarm time
Class Description
2005-02-04 23:19:27 CET Major hard-disk missing in Boot List
What It Means
When the router is operational and the hard disk is removed from the boot list, a
minor yellow alarm is generated. When the router is rebooted and the hard disk is
still removed from the boot list, a red major alarm is generated.
What It Means
The command output displays a major alarm indicating what media is missing
from the boot list and the time and date when the event occurred.
Step 3: Understand What Happens When Memory Failures Occur

Most Juniper Networks Routing Engines support Error Checking and Correction
(ECC) protected memory. There are two types of memory errors: single-bit and
multiple-bit.
A single-bit error is when a single 0 or 1 bit is incorrect. The system detects and
corrects single-bit errors, then logs the event in the /var/log/eccd file. If there are
persistent single-bit errors, the Routing Engine controller reboots the Routing
Engine. Persistent single-bit errors could be a symptom of bad RAM.
153
Multiple-bit errors are when multiple bits are incorrect. By default, if a multiple-bit
error is detected, a nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) is generated to interrupt the
Routing Engine and panic the kernel causing the router to subsequently reboot. The
Routing Engine panics the kernel, and leaves a vmcore file.Multi-bit parity error
detection was implemented in JUNOS software release 5.3 and above.
Step 4: Check the Router File System and Boot Disk

Action
Table 43 specifies the storage media by Routing Engine type. The device names are
displayed when the router boots. To display the Routing Engine type on some
routers, use the show chassis hardware CLI command.

What It Means
The command output displays statistics about the amount of free disk space in the
routers file systems, including the amount used, the amount available, and the
percentage of system space being used. The values are displayed in 1024-byte
(1KB) blocks.
Filesystem is the name of the file system on which the Routing Engine booted. The
command output also displays the directory to which the file system is mounted.
During normal operation, the / and /config directories are from the compact flash
drive and the /var directory is from the hard drive. If the router booted off the hard
drive, the show system storage command will show all three directories on the hard
drive. If the hard drive fails and the router booted off the compact flash drive, the
show system storage command will show all three directories on the compact flash
drive.
154
Step 5: Display the Current Routing Engine Alarms

To display information about the conditions that trigger Routing Engine alarms for
each router type, see Display the Current Router Alarms on page 61.
NOTE: An event may occasionally cause the Routing Engine not to boot and you
will not be able to display the current alarms.

Action
To display the current Routing Engine alarms, use the following CLI command:
Sample Output

1 alarms currently active
Alarm time
Class Description
2001-07-22 15:12:19 PDT Major hard-disk missing in Boot List
2002-05-14 09:20:36 PDT Major compact-flash missing in Boot List
2002-05-14 09:20:31 PDT Minor Boot from alternate media
What It Means
The command output displays the alarm time, severity level, and description.
Step 6: Display Error Messages in the System Log File

Action
To view Routing Engine error messages in the system log file, use the following CLI
command:
Sample Output
For compact flash drive errors:

Feb 3 07:58:17 host /kernel: ad0: HARD WRITE ERROR blk# 135783 status=51 error=10 Feb 3 07:58:17 host /kernel:
ad0: HARD WRITE ERROR blk# 137633 status=51 error=10 Feb 3 07:58:47 host /kernel: ad0: HARD WRITE
ERROR blk# 135731 status=51 error=10 Feb 3 07:58:47 host /kernel: ad0: HARD WRITE ERROR blk# 135783
status=51 error=10 Feb 3 07:58:47 host /kernel: ad0: HARD WRITE ERROR blk# 137633 status=51 error=10
For hard drive errors:

Jun 3 12:00:28 router /kernel: ad1: WRITE command timeout - resetting
Jun 3 12:00:44 router /kernel: ata0: resetting devices ..
Jun 3 12:00:44 router /kernel: ata0: Succeeded in resetting devices.
Jun 3 12:00:28 router /kernel: ad1: WRITE command timeout - resetting
Jun 3 12:00:17 router /kernel: ata0: resetting devices ..
What It Means
The messages system log file records the time the failure or event occurred, the
severity level, a code, and a message description. Use the show log messages CLI
command to browse error messages that are generated at least 5 minutes before
and after an event. You can also use the show log messages | match device-name
command to view error messages that are specific to a device name. Use this
information to diagnose a problem and to let JTAC know what error messages were
generated and the router events prior to the event. For more information about
system log messages, see the JUNOS Softw are System L og Messages R eference .
155
Step 7: Document the Events Prior to the Failure

Action
To document events that occurred prior to a Routing Engine failure, follow these
steps:
1. Write down any events such as an abrupt router shutdown because of a power
outage, a software upgrade, a configuration commit, or a system snapshot
request.
2. Write down any recovery procedures attempted. If the Routing Engine reported
some errors on the hard drive but appeared to be working fine or a backup
Routing Engine is available, it may not be necessary to recover.
3. Turn on logging to your console to start capturing screen output. This is
especially useful if a terminal server is connected to the Routing Engine console
port.
4. While you have screen capturing enabled, boot the Routing Engine and look at
the router boot messages.
Getting Routing Engine Hardware Information

Steps To Take
To get hardware information for a failed Routing Engine, follow these steps:
1. Display Routing Engine Hardware Information on page 157
2. Locate the Routing Engine Serial Number ID Label on page 158
Step 1: Display Routing Engine Hardware Information

Action
To display the Routing Engine hardware information, use the following CLI
command:
user@host> show chassis hardware
Sample Output
For an M20 router with two Routing Engines:

What It Means
DC
The sample output for an M20 router displays the Routing Engine, slot number, and
serial number, and indicates that it is present in the router. Give this information to
JTAC if the Routing Engine fails.
The sample output for an M40 router shows that the maxicab is the (Motorola)
Routing Engine, and the minicab is the Routing Engine and Packet Forwarding
Engine interface.
On other routers, the Routing Engine serial number is located in the host hardware
inventory line.
Step 2: Locate the Routing Engine Serial Number ID Label

If the Routing Engine fails, you cannot see the Routing Engine hardware
information when you use the show chassis hardware command. You must
manually locate the serial number ID label on the component
Some Routing Engines may have more than one serial number. Contact your
Juniper Networks support representative if you need assistance in determining
which serial number to provide.
Action
Look on the Routing Engine for the serial number ID label.
M7i Router Routing Engine Serial Number ID Label Location

The serial number ID label is located on the left side near the midplane connector.
M10i Router Routing Engine Serial Number ID Label Location

The serial number ID label is located on the left side, near the back (see Figure 52).

For all routers with a Type 2 (Teknor) Routing Engine, the serial number ID label is
located on the top right side of the Routing Engine (see Figure 53 on page 159). If
there are multiple labels on the Routing Engine, the label marked Teknor Silicon
Serial ID is the correct serial number. The serial number ID label includes two
serial numbers: a 16-digit number on the top and a 10-digit number on the bottom.
Give both serial numbers to JTAC.

M40 Router Routing Engine Serial Number ID Label Location

For M40 routers, the serial number that you use depends on whether you purchased
the Routing Engine housing or just the Routing Engine. If you purchased the Routing
Engine housing, the serial number is located on the maxicab, as shown in
Figure 54. If you purchased the Routing Engine only, remove the Routing Engine
and locate the serial number ID label, as shown in Figure 54. If there are multiple
labels on the Routing Engine, the label marked Teknor Silicon Serial ID is the
correct serial number.
