    1)Soft Restart the FPC

    request chassis fpc slot slot-number (offline | online | restart)

     

    2)Re-seat the affected FPC

    Ensure the FPC module is clean before re-inserting it.

     

    3)If all the above steps fail to resolve the issue, you will need to open a JTAC case to request an RMA for FPC.
