Troubleshooting the Appliance
When you receive the errors that the Analysis Engine is busy, wait a while before trying to make
configuration changes. Use the show statistics virtual-sensor command to find out when the Analysis
Engine is available again.
Communication Problems
This section helps you troubleshoot communication problems with the sensor. It contains the following
topics:
• Cannot Access the Sensor CLI Through Telnet or SSH, page E-25
• Correcting a Misconfigured Access List, page E-27
• Duplicate IP Address Shuts Interface Down, page E-28
Cannot Access the Sensor CLI Through Telnet or SSH
If you cannot access the sensor CLI through Telnet (if you already have it enabled) or SSH, follow these
steps:
Step 1 Log in to the sensor CLI through a console, terminal, or module session.
Step 2 Make sure that the sensor management interface is enabled. The management interface is the interface
in the list with the status line
Media Type = TX. If the Link Status is Down, go to Step 3. If the Link Status
is
Up, go to Step 5.
