Description

This article explains the temperature mismatch behavior exhibited by MX2k devices (MX2008, MX2010, MX2020) and also provides the steps to resolve it.

Symptoms

The chassis FPC temperature increases up to 20 degrees Celsius after upgrading Junos version to 17.2.

Check the hardware inventory for FPC type:

 user@R1> show chassis hardware 
 Hardware inventory:

Solution

This is seen because show chassis FPC is displaying the Exhaust temperature for FPC and show chassis FPC detail displays the Intake temperature . For detailed temperature values, one can refer show chassis environment output.

Also, from the SNMP output, one can verify that the operating temperature for FPC 2 matches the exhaust temperature unlike as seen on the previous version before the upgrade (where the intake temperature is matched)
