the temperature inside the chassis rises above the maximum threshold temperature, the router shuts down
automatically.
General Safety Standards
vEdge 100 Router
Caution
Caution
Before removing or installing router modules and components, ensure that the router chassis is electrically
connected to ground. Ensure that you attach an ESD grounding strap to an ESD point and place the other end
of the strap around your bare wrist making good skin contact. Failure to use an ESD grounding strap could
result in damage to the router.
Some router components are hot-swappable and hot-insertable. You can remove and replace them without
powering off or disconnecting power to the router. Do not, however, install the router or any of its component
if they appear to be damaged.
• Install your vEdge router in compliance with the following local, national, and international electrical
codes:
• United States—National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 70), United States National Electrical
Code.
• Other countries—International Electromechanical Commission (IEC) 60364, Part 1 through Part
7.
• Evaluated to the TN power system.
• Canada—Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, CSA C22.1.
• Permit only trained and qualified personnel to install or replace switch components.
• Locate the emergency power-off switch in the room in which you are working. In case of an electrical
accident, quickly turn off the power.
• Disconnect power before installing or removing the router.
• If an electrical accident occurs, use caution and immediately turn off power to the router.
• Make sure that grounding surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and well-finished before grounding connections
are made.
• Do not work alone if hazardous conditions exist.
• Always check that power is disconnected from a circuit. Never assume that it is disconnected.
• Carefully inspect your work area for possible hazards, such as moist floors, worn-out power cords,
ungrounded power extension cords, and missing safety grounds.
• Operate the device within marked electrical ratings and product usage instructions.
• To ensure that the router and the FRUs function safely and correctly, use the specified cables and
connectors, and make certain they are in good condition.
Hardware Installation Guide for vEdge Routers

vEdge 100 Router
Site Preparation Guidelines
Efficient operation of routers requires proper site planning and proper layout of your equipment rack or wiring
closet:
• Ensure that the area around the router is kept free of dust and conductive material.
• Follow appropriate airflow guidelines so that the cooling system functions normally.
• Follow ESD prevention procedures to avoid any damage to the router.
• Install the router in an enclosed, secure area allowing only authorized personnel to access the device.
Environmental Requirements
Install the vEdge routers in a dry, clean, temperature-controlled, and well-ventilated environment:
• Maintain ambient airflow for the router to operate normally. The ambient intake air temperature should
be in the range 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). If the airflow is blocked or if the air intake is too warm,
the router can get overheated.
Site Preparation Guidelines
• Avoid temperature extremes. Ensure that the router is operating at an ambient temperature not more that
40°C (104°F) at sea level. For higher altitudes, a derating of 1.50°C per 1,000 feet applies.
• High humidity conditions can cause moisture to penetrate into the chassis. The devices support 10% to
85% humidity levels, non-condensing.
Rack Requirements
For the Cisco vEdge router models that support the rack mount option, you can mount the routers in a two-post
or a four-post rack. Table 1 provides the rack requirements for the routers.
Table 5:
GuidelinesRack Requirement
Rack type
Use a two-post or a four-post rack that meets the size requirements for the router,
provides bracket holes or hole patterns spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45 cm)
increments, and is strong enough to support the weight of the router.
Mounting brackets
Ensure that the holes in the mounting brackets are spaced at 1 U (1.75 in. or 4.45
cm). This allows you to mount the router in any location in the rack.
Rack size
It is recommended that the rack comply with the size and strength standards of a
19-inch rack as defined in Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment
(document number EIA-310–D), published by the Electronics Industry Association
http://www.eia.org . Ensure that the rack rails are spaced widely enough to
accommodate the external dimensions of the chassis and that the outer edges of
the front mount brackets extend the width of the chassis to 19 in. (48.2 cm). You
must also ensure that the spacing of rails and adjacent racks allows for the proper
clearance around the router and rack.
building structure
For maximum stability, secure the rack to ceiling brackets and to floor brackets.Rack secured to

vEdge 100 Router
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Now that you have installed and connected the vEdge 100 router, you can monitor and troubleshoot the various
LEDs and system alarms on the router.
Alarm Severity Levels
The system alarms on the vEdge 100 router have two types of severity levels:
• Major (red)—Indicates a critical situation on the router resulting from one of two conditions:
Hardware Installation Guide for vEdge Routers

vEdge 100 Router
Maintenance and Troubleshooting
One or more hardware components on the router has failed.•
• One or more hardware components on the router has exceeded the temperature threshold.
A major alarm condition requires immediate attention. If a temperature related major alarm persists for more
than five minutes, the router will shut down.
• Minor (yellow)—Indicates a warning on the router that, if left unattended, might result in an interruption
in router operation or degradation in router performance. A yellow alarm condition requires further
monitoring and/or maintenance.
Hardware Alarms
Hardware alarms on the vEdge 100 router are predefined and are triggered by a physical condition on the
router such as a power supply failure, excessive component temperature, or fan failure. The vEdge 100 router
triggers the following types of hardware alarms:
• Main board temperature alarm—The main board of the router has one temperature sensing point (board
sensor 0). If the temperature of the sensor location crosses the predefined threshold level, the system
triggers an alarm.
• CPU temperature alarm—If the temperature of the system CPU crosses the predefined threshold level,
the system triggers an alarm.
• Fan alarm—The router has a fixed built-in fan for system cooling which runs at a fixed speed. If the fan
stops running, the system triggers an alarm. Also if the fan starts to run below a predefined RPM threshold,
the system triggers an alarm.
Table 1 lists the yellow and red alarm threshold for the temperature sensing points in the system—one board
sensor on the board and one CPU junction temperature sensor. The lower threshold value (Bad Fan) applies
if a fan failure condition is also detected; otherwise the higher threshold value applies (normal).

Checking Alarms and Notifications
To view the current chassis environment condition , enter the show hardware environment command at
the system prompt. The system displays the power supply status, temperature sensor readings, fan speed, and
related alarm status if any exists.
To view the severity of active alarms, enter the show hardware alarms command at the system prompt. The
system displays the alarm severity and a brief description of the cause of each active alarm.

To view temperature thresholds at which green, yellow, and red alarms are generated, enter the show hardware
temperature-thresholds command at the system prompt. The system displays the alarm temperature threshold
information for a specific board or all boards in the router and for the router's CPU.
To view all other events on a Viptela device, enter the show notification stream command. The system
displays notifications about events that have occurred on the Viptela device.
LEDs
The chassis LEDs located on the front panel of the vEdge 100 router indicate the status of the router.
If there are one or more major alarms active in the router, the Status LED is lit red. If there are one or more
minor alarms active in the router, the Status LED is lit solid yellow. See Front and Rear Panel Components
for details of the LEDs and the status they indicate.

Restore a vEdge Router
This article explains how to revert the configuration for a vEdge router to the factory-default values. It also
explains how to do a soft and hard reset of the router.
Reverting to the vEdge Router Factory-Default Configuration
After you set up and start the virtual machines (VMs) for the vEdge Cloud routers and set up and start the
hardware vEdge routers in your overlay network, they come up with a factory-default configuration . When
you make and commit changes to the default configuration, a new configuration file is created. This new
configuration file then becomes the active configuration.
If desired, you can revert to the default factory configuration:
vEdge# request software reset
Reset the Router
You can reset the vEdge router by doing either a hard press or a soft press. To perform either type of press,
locate the Reset button on the front panel of the router. The Reset button is recessed to avoid accidentally
pressing it while the router is operational. To press the Reset button, use a sharp narrow tool.
Perform a Long Press Reset
A long press reset of the vEdge router erases passwords, keys, and most other configuration parameters,
restoring the router to its factory-default configuration.
To perform a long press reset, press the Reset button for more than 10 seconds. After you release the Reset
button, the router will reboot and resume normal operation.
Perform a Short Press Reset
A short press reset of the Edge router is equivalent to a graceful software reboot and is the same as entering
the reboot command at the CLI prompt.

To perform a short press reset, press the Reset button for two seconds. The short press reset takes effect almost
instantaneously and reboots the router.
Return Hardware
This article describes how to return a vEdge router or a hardware component to Viptela for repair or replacement.
Locate Serial and Model Number
To return a vEdge router or a hardware component to Viptela, you need the serial and model number of the
router or the component being returned.
You can locate the serial and model number of a vEdge router in one of the following ways:
• In vManage NMS, select the Configuration ► Devices screen. The device table lists the serial and model
• Enter the show hardware inventory command at the CLI prompt.
• The serial number (sample shown in Figure 1) is printed on a label on the right side of the router; the
