Solution

The CCG Failure alarm indicates a problem with the Centralised Clock Generator (CCG) 0 on PTX5000 device.

This alarm suggests that CCG 0 is not functioning correctly, which can affect the device's ability to synchronise timing across components.


The alarm can be triggered due to various reasons, including:

1. Hardware Failure: A malfunction in the CCG component itself.

2. Power Issues: Insufficient or unstable power supply to the CCG.

3. Temperature Problems: Overheating or abnormal temperature levels.

4. Communication Errors: Issues like I2C communication failures between the CCG and other components.


Collect the below output for CCG0 and try to restart the CCG0 via below command:

 

Please collect the outputs: 

------------

show chassis environment ccg 0 

show chassis alarms  

 

Restart CCG0

 

request chassis ccg slot 0 offline 

request chassis ccg slot 0 online  


If the above doesn't work,

CCG replacement is suggested.
