Troubleshooting the Appliance
To verify that the sensor in question does not have an IP address conflict with another host on the
network, follow these steps:
Step 1
Log in to the CLI.
Step 2
Determine whether the interface is up. If the output says the command and control interface link status
is down, there is a hardware issue or an IP address conflict.
