downgrade the PIC? What exactly do you want to achieve? And I'm more
curious about why you would want to run JUNOS version that's EOLd over 5
years ago?

I would also recommend against running a release as old as 6.1. There
have been numerous security updates since 6.1, and these are likely
important to your network. BTW, you don't downgrade PICs, you could
change the release to an older version, in which case all the software
for the system will be downgraded.

Re: Urgent downgrade pic [In reply to]

Also i wanted to know what are the steps that happen when image is
loaded, how the image is loaded in fpc, when does it happen.
Any document for this.

Also while downgrading, why do we need to go from say 9.4 to 9.0 than
to 8.5 then 8.0. Any specific reason.

Thanks,

Shekar

Re: Urgent downgrade pic [In reply to]

Hi Shekar,

Is there any specific reason, you downgrading from 9.4 to 7.2? Which type of
interfaces are not coming up? Most likely they are not supported in 7.2. You
need to check Supported PIC page in the external documentation to find the
release the particular PIC is supported from

For example this is for M10i.

http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/en_US/release-independent/junos/topics/refer
ence/general/pic-m10i-supported.html

If the PIC is not supported in your 7.2 release, there is pretty much
nothing you can do to make it work in that release. No firmware
upgrade/downgrade can help here.

If your PIC is found supported from the documentation, you should check if
at least FPCs are detected and the PICs being marked as "unsupported
hardware" in "show chassis hardware" output. If not then, probably your
chassisd daemon responsible for detecting and bringing up the FPC/PIC might
be having issue. Look under /var/tmp or /var/crash to see if any coredumps
are generated. Again, since 7.2 is an EoLed release, this issue can not be
fixed in 7.2 anymore. But most likely, it might be already fixed in the
later releases. This is all assuming your PIC hardware is supported in 7.2.

Also, during the upgrade or downgrade, you are not supposed to jump more
than 3 major JUNOS releases at a time. For.e.g from 9.3 you need to upgrade
to 9.6 before going to 10.0. Similarly, for downgrade It is usually
mentioned in the release notes of every release in the upgrade instructions.

Thanks,
Nilesh

Re: Urgent downgrade pic [In reply to]

Hi Shekar,

You say that the router model is M20

> Could you please clarify this point. how to downgrade? why not able
> to see the interfaces? The router model is M20.

Strange that you mention xe-6/0/0 or ge-4/0/0. As these interfaces
can't exist on M20. There are no FPC slots #6 and #4 on M20. There are
only four FPC slots [0-3]

Can you show chassis hardware output?
