2. Ensure there are no loose connections.
3. Ensure the correct cable type is used for the network speed or that the correct SFP or DAC
cable is used. For dual - port 10GB networking devices, both SFP ports must have the same
media (for example, DAC cable or equal SFP+ module). Mixing different types of SFP
(SR/LR) on a single device is not supported.
4. Ensure the network cable is working by replacing it with a known functional cable.
5. Ensure a valid IP address is assigned to the controller and that the configuration settings are
correct according to Avaya's application documentation.
6. If the Avaya application is running utilize built in network test/debugging commands, if
available.
7. If Avaya application is not running, see
G9 Server console
a. Navigate to System Health > NIC Information > NIC.
