following circumstances:

Step 5 Work with the technical support team to analyze the log file.
Troubleshooting When You Cannot Access the Graphical User Interfaces
If you cannot access the GUIs, you may need to perform the following procedures, especially if your technical
support team advises that you do so:
• Troubleshooting by Using Cisco Diagnostics USB, on page 419
• Troubleshooting with the Network USB Flash Drive When You Cannot Access the Administrative
Interface, on page 422
Troubleshooting by Using Cisco Diagnostics USB
Should the BE3000 web interface be unavailable for any reason, it is possible to configure, execute and collect
system logs using a USB memory device. The USB memory device allows you, the System Administrator,
to perform the servers diagnostics and collect the required log files when the Cisco Business Edition 3000
Administrative Interface is not accessible and before you reboot or reimage the Cisco Business Edition 3000
server.
Cisco Diagnostics USB flash drive contains the Cisco Diagnostics USB Signature file named
diagnose.xml
file, which can be downloaded from www.cisco.com or from the Cisco Business Edition 3000 Administrative
Administration Guide for Cisco Business Edition 3000, Release 8.6(4)
