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:

•

WAN interface cards—Refer to the LEDs on the cards and the LEDs on the
router front panel to help identify a failure. For more information on WAN
interface cards, 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.
