Running Diagnostics on the
Cisco 12012
Field diagnostics are available for the Cisco 12012 GSR to help you isolate faulty hardware
to the level of a field-replaceable unit (FRU) without disrupting the operation of the system.
After you identify the faulty unit, you can replace it with a spare unit.
Field diagnostics are not designed to identify specific components within the router. They
simply determine whether a particular card is operational or defective.
Running Diagnostics on the Cisco 12012 GSR is presented in the following sections:
