1. Verify that the green ONLINE LED lights steadily.
2. Verify the status of the Routing Engine by using the show chassis routing-engine command.
The Routing Engine might require several minutes to boot. After the Routing Engine boots, verify
that it is installed correctly by checking FAIL, RE0, and RE1 LEDs on the craft interface. If the router
is operational and the Routing Engine is functioning properly, the green ONLINE LED lights steadily.
If the red FAIL LED lights steadily instead, remove and reinstall the Routing Engine. If the red FAIL
LED still lights steadily, the Routing Engine is not functioning properly. Contact your customer
support representative.
NOTE: To maintain proper airflow through the chassis, do not leave a CB installed in the
chassis without a Routing Engine for extended periods of time. If a Routing Engine is
removed, a replacement Routing Engine should be installed as soon as possible.
NOTE: If power is applied to the Routing Engine and its corresponding Control Board is
functioning normally, the Control Board comes online automatically.
3. Reconnect the cables to the Control Board. The Routing Engine comes up.
