Troubleshooting

The Cisco ASR 901 router undergoes extensive testing before it leaves the factory. If you encounter problems, use the information in this appendix to help isolate problems or to eliminate the router as the source of the problem.

This appendix contains the following sections:

Problem Solving, page A-1

Reading the LEDs, page A-4

If you cannot locate the source of the problem, contact a customer service representative for information on how to proceed. For technical support information, see the Cisco Information Packet publication that shipped with your router. Before you call, have the following information ready:

Chassis type and serial number

Maintenance agreement or warranty information

Type of software and version number

Date you received the new chassis

Brief description of the problem

Brief explanation of the steps you took to isolate the problem

Note Ensure you provide the customer service representative with any upgrade or maintenance information that was performed on the Cisco ASR 901 router after your initial installation (see Appendix C, “Site Log” for Site Log information.)

Problem Solving

To solve a problem, isolate the problem to a specific subsystem by comparing the current router activity to the expected router activity.

The LEDs on the front panel of the router enable you to determine router performance and operation. For a description of these LEDs, see “Reading the LEDs” section on page A-4.

When solving a problem, check the following router subsystems:

Power and cooling systems—External power source, power cable, router power supply and circuit breaker, and router fans. Also check for inadequate ventilation or air circulation.

Modules—Checking the LEDs on the modules can help you to identify a failure.
