user@device> show system alarms
3 alarms currently active
Alarm time Class Description
2024-10-31 09:54:16 PDT Minor SIB 0 Not Online
2024-10-31 09:46:15 PDT Major FPC 0 offlined due to unreachable destinations

Solution

When SIB 0 goes offline, it creates a direct impact on the FPC. This will cause the FPC to be undetectable, leading to all interfaces on the device being non-operational. 

 

To resolve this issue, try power cycling/hard rebooting the device. If the problem continues after this step, a possible RMA will be required, so it is advisable to reach out to JTAC for assistance on the RMA and possible additional troubleshooting.
