J.1 Overview

Troubleshooting involves:
1. Identifying the source of the problem—Which devices, links, interfaces, hosts, or applications have
the problem?
2. Locating the problem on the network—On what VLAN, subnet, or segment is the problem
occurring?
3. Comparing current network performance against an established baseline—Is the performance better
or worse?
4. Finding out when the problem started—When did you first see the problem? Is it recurring?
5. Determining the extent of the problem—How widespread is the problem? Is it getting worse?
