Description

The RE CPU temperature may appear to be high on the branch series SRX3xx devices, but there are no temperature alarms.

If we see the temperature thresholds, they appear to imply anything over 60 should give an alarm.

Solution

The RE CPU temperature on the devices above are within normal tolerances.

 

The temperature-thresholds are in reference to the chassis temperature and routing engine temperature, and not the temperature of the CPU itself.

 

The SRX3xx use passive cooling on the CPUs along with chassis fans. The CPUs may report higher temperatures than what one might might see in other SRX platforms.
