Problem Solving

The key to problem solving is to isolate the problem to a specific subsystem by
comparing what the router is doing to what it should be doing.

When problem solving, consider the following subsystems of the router:

WICs and VICs—Refer to the LEDs on the cards and the LEDs on the router
front panel to help identify a failure. For more information on WICs and
VICs, refer to the Cisco WAN Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide
that comes with each card.

Cables—Check all the external cables that connect the router to the network.

Power system—Check the external power source, power cable, router power
supply, and circuit breaker. Check for inadequate ventilation or air circulation
that might cause overheating.
