Taking the PTX5000 Host Subsystem Offline
Before you replace a Routing Engine, you must take the host subsystem offline. The host subsystem is
taken offline and brought online as a unit. Be aware of the effect of taking a host subsystem offline on
traffic, forwarding, and routing. See
Offline" on page
462.
To take a host subsystem offline:
1. Determine whether the Routing Engine to be replaced is currently functioning as the primary or as
the backup, using one of the following methods:
a. Check the HOST 0 and HOST 1 LEDs on the craft interface. If the green MASTER LED is lit, the
corresponding host subsystem is functioning as the primary.
b. Check the MASTER LED on the Control Board. If the blue MASTER LED is lit, the host subsystem
is functioning as the primary.
c. Issue the show chassis routing-engine command. The primary Routing Engine is designated Master in
the Current state field.
