root@router> request chassis pic pic-slot 0 fpc-slot 1 offline   

FPC slot 1 does not support this command

Solution

MPC2E NG PQ & Flex Q model has built-in PICs and does not support PIC reset via request chassis pic pic-slot x fpc-slot y offline/online and results in FPC slot x does not support this command.

However, the MPC2E NG PQ & Flex Q model does support MIC restart. For instance:

root@router> show chassis fpc pic-status 1        

Slot 1 Online  MPC2E NG PQ & Flex Q            

 PIC 0 Online  2x 10GE XFP

 PIC 1 Online  2x 10GE XFP

 PIC 2 Online  2x 10GE XFP

 PIC 3 Online  2x 10GE XFP

 

root@router> request chassis mic mic-slot 1 fpc-slot 1 offline 

fpc 1 mic 1 offline initiated, use "show chassis fpc pic-status 1" to verify

 

root@router> show chassis fpc pic-status 1        

Slot 1 Online  MPC2E NG PQ & Flex Q            

 PIC 0 Online  2x 10GE XFP

 PIC 1 Online  2x 10GE XFP

 PIC 2 Offline  2x 10GE XFP

 PIC 3 Offline  2x 10GE XFP

 

Opt to reset the MIC within which the desired PIC that needs reset is located and reset it via MIC offline/online as shown above.
