The customer is seeing below alarm on Mx10003

Router> show chassis alarms

Alarm time Class Description

Symptoms

Initially, we saw the alarm.

Router> show chassis alarms
2 alarms currently active
Alarm time Class Description
2023-09-11 19:54:44 UTC Minor Check FPC 0 Fabric Chip

Later, we saw plane 0 going into a check state. There are multiple planes where there might not be a service impact, but keeping the FPC in this state is not advisable.

The most interesting part is that this is the MX10003, and fabric chips are installed in the FPC itself. CB does not have a fabric chip.

So if you see an alarm like above, then you need to look into FPC and not CB.

Solution

1) First, go through the Varlogs. If you find anything there, then investigate in the respective direction; otherwise, collect below command output

2) Below is the list of commands to collect.
