Symptoms

When the show chassis hardware command is executed, the output will be:

When the SRX1400 is not in a cluster, SFP 10 and 11 on FPC 0 are shown.

Following messages can be found in the logs:

Apr 19 09:49:23  SRX1400-b node1.cpp0 IOC(0/0)(10), SFP 5: in sfp_read_range, failed to read SFP EEPROM address 0
Apr 19 09:49:23  SRX1400-b node1.cpp0 IOC(0/0)(11), SFP 6: in sfp_read_range, failed to read SFP EEPROM address 0

Solution

This is the correct expected behavior, no need for any correction.
