A TROUBLESHOOTING METHODOLOGY<br />

One of the key factors in network troubleshooting is isolating the issue to figure<br />

out whether it’s being caused by a single workstation or cable, or if it’s a larger<br />

issue affecting numerous users on your network.<br />

You can break down the troubleshooting process into two major components:<br />

■ Gathering information<br />

■ Analyzing the information you’ve gathered<br />

Your first step should be to gather information from your users about the nature<br />

of the problem, which can be used to determine which component of the network<br />

has failed or is misconfigured.
