Site Log
A site log provides a historical record of all actions relevant to the Cisco 7200 VXR router operation and 
maintenance. Keep your site log in a common place near the chassis where anyone who performs tasks 
has access to it. Site log entries might include the following:
  • Installation progress—Make a copy of the Cisco 7200 VXR Router Installation Checklist and insert 
it into the site log. Make entries on this checklist as each procedure is completed.
  • Upgrades, removal, and replacement procedures—Use the site log as a record of system 
maintenance and expansion history. Each time a procedure is performed on the system, update the 
site log to reflect the following: 
  –
