The correct answer is B. Issue a reset command to the service module. When a Cisco Unity Express module is unreachable from the host router, issuing a reset command to the service module is the fastest targeted resolution.
Question
A functioning voicemail system on Cisco Unity Express returns a busy signal when called. An engineer verifies all the configurations on the host router but cannot establish a session from the router to the Cisco Unity Express module. Which step should the engineer take to resolve this issue quickly?
Options
- AClear the IP ARP table on the router.
- BIssue a reset command to the service module.
- CRemove and reconfigure the Cisco Unity Express IP on the service module.
- DRestart the router.

Why each option
When a Cisco Unity Express module is unreachable from the host router, issuing a reset command to the service module is the fastest targeted resolution.
Clearing the ARP table resolves Layer 2 to Layer 3 mapping issues on external interfaces and would not fix an unresponsive internal service module.
Cisco Unity Express runs as a service module inside the router and can enter a hung or unresponsive state, making it unreachable via its internal network interface. Issuing the 'service-module reset' command restarts only the CUE module without requiring a full router reload, restoring the session between the router and the module quickly and minimizing disruption.
Removing and reconfiguring the CUE IP address is a complex, time-consuming procedure that is unnecessary if the module itself is in a hung or unresponsive state.
Restarting the entire router is far more disruptive than resetting only the affected service module and would take all services on the router offline unnecessarily.
