Troubleshooting and error codes

Feature/Problem Possible Cause Solution
Loss of connectivity Incorrect IP addressing or subnet mask Verify IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway configuration.
High CPU utilization Rogue process or excessive traffic Use `show processes cpu sorted` to identify high CPU processes and investigate traffic patterns.
Interface down Physical cable issue or interface configuration error Check cable connections, verify interface status, and review interface configuration.
BGP neighbor down Incorrect BGP configuration or network reachability issue Confirm BGP neighbor IP addresses, AS numbers, and ensure network connectivity between peers.
ACL not blocking traffic Incorrect ACL syntax or applied to the wrong interface/direction Review ACL configuration, ensure it is applied to the correct interface and direction (ingress/egress).
