[Drechsel, Thiago (NSN - BR/Curitiba)]

Hi all.
 
Procedures described on link below were tested and confirmed. I really
had an unusual behavior...

Hi list.
 
Based on the explanations from
http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/erx/junose81/hw-e320-hardware/r
est-lcms-srps.html
<http://www.juniper.net/techpubs/hardware/erx/junose81/hw-e320-hardware/
rest-lcms-srps.html>  and from my job experience with ERX, I understand
that when we issue a NMI reset on the active SRP, no line card should be
affected (reboot). Depressing the NMI button should only soft reset the
SRP and no subscribers should be affected.
 
I've just tried this procedure on a lab E320, using release 8-1-2. After
depressing NMI button, there was a SRP switch, and all LC rebooted.
 
I'd like to discuss if this is normal, or I'm facing an unusual
behavior...
 
Thanks in advance
