NET 10-P1 Diagnostics and Troubleshooting Flashcards
The first and most important step is gathering information and symptoms from network devices, end systems, and users
Troubleshooting Steps: Gather information
sexond step is based on symptoms, eliminate variables until a single problem or a set of related problems is identified as the cause
Troubleshooting Steps: Isolate the problem
third step is consider the severity of the problem and the impact of the solution. Then begin planning, testing and documenting possible solutions
Troubleshooting Steps: Implement a solution
fourth step is if the problem was not solved, repeat steps two and three again and deepen the research
Troubleshooting Steps: Problem Solved?
final step: Document every step you took in the process for future reference
Troubleshooting Steps: Documentation* (most important)
What are the data points when gathering information for Troubleshooting?
- ) Question end users
- ) Protocol analyzers (Wireshark, etc.)
- ) Physical troubleshooting tools (cable tester, others)
- ) Network management software
- ) CMD network commands
- ) show and debug commands
- ) IP SLA: monitors network performance in real-time
- ) Neighbor Discovery Protocols
In this method, the starting point is at the bottom of the OSI model: the physical layer
Troubleshooting OSI: Bottom-Up
IN this method, the starting point is at the top of the OSI model: The application layer
Troubleshooting OSI: Troubleshooting OSI:
The starting point is not predefined as in other methods, A particular layer is selected and examined; if the layer functions, then the next layer to examine is the one above it. IF the layer is faulty, then move to the next one
Troubleshooting OSI: Divide and Conquer
Provides excellent tools for troubleshooting
Network management Software
This command outputs a large volume of information, including interface errors, bandwidth utilization, and interface speed
show interfaces
This command verifies network reachability
show ip route
This command displays all connected devices that CDP can communicate with
show cdp neighbors
is a neighbot Discovery protocol similar to CDP developed by IEEE. is an industry standard protocol,
Link Layer Discovery Procol
is a neighbor Discovery protocol similar to CDP developed by IEEE. is an industry standard protocol,
Link Layer Discovery Protocol
is a standard for logging messages. Each device records actions and events that occur like a private diary
Syslog
If a syslog server is configured on this device, the device will send all syslog messages to the server over the ___ port
UDP 514
Server that connects with external source that helps keep all devices on your network synced to the accurate time and date
Network Time protocol
Server that connects with external source that helps keep all devices on your network synced to the accurate time and date
Network Time protocol - NTP*
Cisco routers and switches (and many other devices around the world) use NTP to deteremine the date and time, although routerts and switches can also act as NTP servers
NTP usage
command setting the clock
clock set
this command is ued when server is configured for the clock
ntp server
