Scenario:
This article describes troubleshooting steps to take when the USG FLEX H becomes unresponsive.
If the firewall is freezing and both GUI and SSH are inaccessible, connect console cable to the device and open TeraTerm. Serial Port > Baud rate: 115200.
- Check if console is still working when you enter any commands on console.
usgflex700h> show version
usgflex700h> show interface vrf main - Ping 8.8.8.8 from device on console and check the result.
usgflex700h> cmd ping 8.8.8.8 - Connect one laptop in LAN and ping the device LAN IP. Check if there is any ping loss.
- Collect diagnostic file.
- Collect diag-info BEFORE you restart the device manually.
Note: if diag-info cannot be collected before restarting, use "send break +x" BEFORE restarting the device manually.
For example, click "Send break" on TeraTerm and then enter "x"
- Restart the device manually.
- Collect diag-info AGAIN after the device boots up. You can collect the diagnostic file on GUI or CLI.
