Troubleshooting Initial Startup Problems
Your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router went through extensive testing before leaving the factory. However,
if you encounter problems starting the router, use the information in this chapter to help isolate the cause
of the problems. This chapter contains the following sections:
•
Troubleshooting Overview, page C-1
•
Online Troubleshooting Resources, page C-2
•
General Troubleshooting Tips, page C-2
•
Troubleshooting the Upgrade, page C-6
•
Replacing or Recovering a Lost Password, page C-9
The procedures in this chapter assume that you are troubleshooting the initial system startup and that
your router is in the original factory configuration.
If you have removed or replaced components or changed any default settings, the recommendations in
this chapter might not apply. Make sure to review the safety warnings listed in the
Regulatory
Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers
publication that accompanied your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router before using the troubleshooting
procedures in this chapter.
