Troubleshooting Digital Subscriber Line Connectivity On A Cisco Hardware

By Chloe Gib


Cisco hardware products should be given maximum care since they are delicate and require troubleshooting when they break down. The repair requires implementation of methodical troubleshooting methods for diagnosis of configuration problems and issues of cyber security classes. Replacement or repair of the major components of router depends on an advanced knowledge of system error codes in regard to the warning messages. The steps are categorized as instructions for troubleshooting the router hardware and configuration issues, and instructions for repairing the chassis of the Cisco router hardware.

In troubleshooting routers and configuration issues, 7 clear instructions are put in place. The first step involves the making sure that the four major components that run the router are properly inserted in their respective slots. The components include the Network Processing Engine card, AC/DC Power supply, PA cards, and the Controller card.

There are various steps that are undertaken to configure the Cisco PIX 501 Firewall. The first step involves connecting the computer using an Ethernet cable a port on the device. This entails locating the port and numbering it at the back of the device.

Step three entails typing the word show version whereby the gadget will respond by showing two lines of information. The first line displays line of Cisco RSP4 (R5000) and a processor with a memory of 65536K/2072K bytes. The first number with a K represents the DRAM amount while the second K number stands for packet memory of the device.

The next step allows the opening of a browser on the computer to enable the user enter the https://192.168.1.1/startup.html URL in the address bar. The URL aids the user in accessing the browser website in order to carry out the required research.

The next step involves clicking the OK button in order to accept any certificate whenever it is presented. When the certificates are accepted, the user is enabled to continue with the configuration process since the acceptance assists in initializing the start up wizard.

The last step involves the consultation of a certified technician in case doubts arise. Consulting such experts serves to rectify errors and mistakes done during troubleshooting of the machine and configuration issues. Repairing the chassis of the system and troubleshooting are the same since both operations aim at repairing and enhancing network security assessment.

Cisco hardware, therefore, requires configuration of its products to facilitate efficiency in internet connection, computer networking and network security assessment. The process of configuration can take place on products such as the Cisco routers, extreme program Firewall and PIX 501 Firewall.
