This section contains general troubleshooting information for Avaya Virtual Services Platform 4000
Series software.
Failure to read failed configuration file
The device can fail to read and load a saved configuration file after it starts. This situation occurs if
you enable the factorydefaults boot configuration flag. Configure the flag to false: no boot
config flags factorydefaults.
Example
VSP-4850GTSPWR+:1> enable
VSP-4850GTSPWR+:1# configure terminal
VSP-4850GTSPWR+:1(config)# no boot config flags factorydefaults
No Web management interface access to a device
If the device and the PC that runs the Web browser are in the same network, you can find that even
though other applications, for example, Telnet, can access a particular switch, the Web
management interface cannot. This situation can occur if the Web browser has a proxy server that
resolves the www path and returns the reachable IP address to the browser. If no route exists from
the proxy server to the device, the HTTP query does not reach the device, and does not receive a
response.
To prevent this problem, ensure that if the Web browser uses a proxy server, you specify a route
from the proxy server to the device.
Cannot enable encryption
To enable encryption on the system, you must first download and install the necessary encryption
module. If you do not download and install the module, you can enable the encryption method in the
