Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Now that you have installed and connected the vEdge 100b router, you can monitor and troubleshoot the
various LEDs and system alarms on the router.
Alarm Severity Levels
The system alarms on the vEdge 100b router have two types of severity levels:
• Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the router resulting from one of two conditions:
• One or more hardware components on the router has failed.
• One or more hardware components on the router has exceeded the temperature threshold.
A major alarm condition requires immediate attention. If a temperature related major alarm persists for more
than five minutes, the router will shut down.
• Minor (yellow)—Indicates a warning on the router that, if left unattended, might result in an interruption
in router operation or degradation in router performance. A yellow alarm condition requires further
monitoring and/or maintenance.
Hardware Alarms
Hardware alarms on the vEdge 100b router are predefined and are triggered by a physical condition on the
router such as a power supply failure, excessive component temperature, or fan failure. The vEdge 100b router
triggers the following types of hardware alarms:
• Main board temperature alarm—The main board of the router has one temperature sensing point (board
sensor 0). If the temperature of the sensor location crosses the predefined threshold level, the system
triggers an alarm.
• CPU temperature alarm—If the temperature of the system CPU crosses the predefined threshold level,
the system triggers an alarm.
Table 1 lists the yellow and red alarm threshold for the temperature sensing points in the system—one board
sensor on the board and one CPU junction temperature sensor.

In the unlikely event that the temperature measured by the sensors reaches the hardware enforced cut-off limit,
the router shuts down without any software intervention.
Checking Alarms and Notifications
To view the current chassis environment condition , enter the show hardware environment command at
the system prompt. The system displays the power supply status, temperature sensor readings, and related
alarm status if any exists.
To view the severity of active alarms, enter the show hardware alarms command at the system prompt. The
system displays the alarm severity and a brief description of the cause of each active alarm.
To view temperature thresholds at which green, yellow, and red alarms are generated, enter the show hardware
temperature-thresholds command at the system prompt. The system displays the alarm temperature threshold
information for a specific board or all boards in the router and for the router's CPU.
To view all other events on a Viptela device, enter the show notification stream command. The system
displays notifications about events that have occurred on the Viptela device.
LEDs
The chassis LEDs located on the front panel of the vEdge 100b router indicate the status of the router.
If there are one or more major alarms active in the router, the Status LED is lit red. See Front and Rear Panel
Components for details of the LEDs and the status they indicate.

Restore a vEdge Router
This article explains how to revert the configuration for a vEdge router to the factory-default values. It also
explains how to do a soft and hard reset of the router.
Reverting to the vEdge Router Factory-Default Configuration
After you set up and start the virtual machines (VMs) for the vEdge Cloud routers and set up and start the
hardware vEdge routers in your overlay network, they come up with a factory-default configuration . When
you make and commit changes to the default configuration, a new configuration file is created. This new
configuration file then becomes the active configuration.
If desired, you can revert to the default factory configuration:
vEdge# request software reset

Restore a vEdge Router

Reset the Router
You can reset the vEdge router by doing either a hard press or a soft press. To perform either type of press,
locate the Reset button on the front panel of the router. The Reset button is recessed to avoid accidentally
pressing it while the router is operational. To press the Reset button, use a sharp narrow tool.
Perform a Long Press Reset
A long press reset of the vEdge router erases passwords, keys, and most other configuration parameters,
restoring the router to its factory-default configuration.
To perform a long press reset, press the Reset button for more than 10 seconds. After you release the Reset
button, the router will reboot and resume normal operation.
Perform a Short Press Reset
A short press reset of the Edge router is equivalent to a graceful software reboot and is the same as entering
the reboot command at the CLI prompt.
To perform a short press reset, press the Reset button for two seconds. The short press reset takes effect almost
instantaneously and reboots the router.
Return Hardware
This article describes how to return a vEdge router or a hardware component to Viptela for repair or replacement.
Locate Serial and Model Number
To return a vEdge router or a hardware component to Viptela, you need the serial and model number of the
router or the component being returned.
You can locate the serial and model number of a vEdge router in one of the following ways:
• In vManage NMS, select the Configuration ► Devices screen. The device table lists the serial and model
numbers of the routers in the network.
