Description

In Junos release 10.0 or earlier when the PIC-mode is changed from 10G to 1G, or vice versa, a warning message displays during the commit. The message states a reboot is required for the changes to take effect. This behavior has changed in Junos 10.1 and later releases.

Symptoms

In Junos release 10.0 or earlier when the PIC-mode is changed from 10G to 1G, or vice versa, a reboot is required (see sample below).  This behavior has changed in Junos 10.1 and later releases.

Solution

A reboot is not required for Junos 10.1 or later releases unless and until any port on an SFP+ uplink module has been configured as a Virtual Chassis port; at that point the change in operating mode will take effect the next time the switch is rebooted.


The message is displayed regardless of SFP+ uplink module port configuration.

For example:

{master:1}[edit]
user@ex4200-24p-12# set chassis fpc 0 pic 1 sfpplus pic-mode 1g
[edit]
'juniper-config'
warning: If any port in this pic is used as vc-port, sfpplus pic-mode change will only be applied after reboot of the fpc; otherwise no reboot required.
