Figure 99: Installing a Routing Engine in an MX960 Router
Verifying and Configuring the Upgraded Routing Engine as the Master
After replacing the backup Routing Engine with the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine, perform the following
steps:
1. Verify that the SCBE2 and RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine are online by issuing the show chassis hardware
command.
2. After you install the RE-S-X6-64G Routing Engine into the SCBE2, the Routing Engine gets automatically
powered on and comes up in amnesiac mode as it is loaded with factory defaults. After the Routing
Engine comes up in amnesiac mode, load the base configuration and commit.
3. Configure the backup Routing Engine by using the commit synchronize command to copy the
configuration to the backup Routing Engine.
4. Use the request chassis routing-engine master switch command to make the Routing Engine
RE-S-X6-64G (RE1) the master Routing Engine. All FPCs reboot after this step.
