I have an MX960 box that faced an issue as below. Mater RE (RE1) can't show any command invoke-on backup RE (RE0), for example: show version invoke-on all-routing-engines.

{master}

nms@MX960> request routing-engine login other-routing-engine

re0: Operation timed out

I checked logs on backup RE (RE0) and got that interface ESW port 13 (interface connects SCB0 and RE0) flapped several times. But then, it is up again, but from RE1, I still couldn't show any command invoke-on backup RE (RE0).

From master RE, show chassis routing-engine, I see all REs (RE0 is backup an RE1 is master). But from backup RE, show chassis routing-engine, state of master RE is Present.

After I rebooted RE0, everything OK. Does anyone face the same issue? Pls, give me some points of your view. Thanks.

  • I have a slight inkling that the port flapping somehow locked up or crashed the service connection. Have you checked the logs? Do you have any idea what may have caused the flapping?

I checked log chassisd of RE0 (backup RE), no special event happened before port 13 flapped. port 13 flap many times. But in the below time, I observed strange logs, I pushed continuously.

The log "fru_is_present: out of range slot 1 for" pushed continuously until we rebooted RE0. After RE0 online normally, we only observed logs like below:

That looks like some kind of software bug. I would open a case with the support group for your equipment.
