Tsunami MP.11and MP.11a Installation and Management
Appendix B. Troubleshooting
This chapter helps you to isolate and solve problems with your MP.11/a. In the event this chapter does
not provide a solution, or the solution does not solve your problem, check our support website:

Before you start troubleshooting, it is important that you have checked the details in the user’s guides
and manuals. For details about RADIUS, TFTP, terminal and telnet programs, and Web browsers,
please refer to their appropriate documentation.
The following sections can help to solve your problem:
▪ LED Indicators below
▪ MP.11/a Connectivity Issues on page 112
▪ Setup and Configuration Issues on page 114
In some cases, rebooting the MP.11/a clears the problem. If nothing else helps, consider a “Soft Reset
to Factory Defaults” (on page 29) or a “Forced Reload” (on page 106). The Forced Reload option
requires you to download a new image file to the MP.11/a.
