If your connection to an agent fails, the following are the steps that you need to follow<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    \r\n
  1. First, check to bill for the respected server whether it is active or suspended.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Check cdp-agent status on the client-server by using the command \/etc\/init.d\/cdp-agent status. If it is not running then start the cdp-agent by using \/etc\/init.d\/cdp-agent start and then Test the connection for the policy on the backup server.<\/li>\r\n
