[j-nsp] Regular maintenance advice

[Skeeve Stevens]

Hey all,

I am designing a document for low level technicians to regularly
(depending on sensitivity of the device) login to the Juniper
router/or switch to look around and make sure that things are 'ok'.

I am seeking comments of anything else that would be useful for an
technician to look at that would catch their eye that something is
potentially wrong.

So far I have:

---

RJ01 – Router

Description: Standard Juniper Router or Switch

1. Show log messages

     a.     Look at last few days for anything suspicious

          i.     Interfaces flapping

2. Show interfaces terse

     a.     Anything down that shouldn’t be?


3. Show chassis alarm

     a.     Look for any alarm information

4. Show system snapshot

     a.     If older than 1 week then – ‘Request system snapshot’

5. Show system uptime

     a.     As expected?

6. Show system storage

     a.     Confirm / (root) disk space is not getting full.
