Guides users through essential Cisco NCS 1001 preliminary checks, including verifying hardware, software, firmware, management interfaces, alarms, and environmental parameters to ensure the system is ready for configuration.
Preliminary checks verify the default Cisco NCS 1001 setup after console login and identify issues before further system configuration.
Preliminary checks cover these system areas:
-
Hardware, software, firmware, and inventory information: Confirms that the required system information is available.
-
Management, alarm, and environmental status: Verifies that the reported values are as expected.
-
Setup issues: Identifies conditions that require corrective action before further configuration.
Run the preliminary checks immediately after you log in to the console. If a check detects a setup issue, take corrective action before you continue the system configuration.
The procedure examples do not show output from the latest software release. Output that explicitly identifies a release changes with the current release.
