Bay Area Troubleshooting Bay Area Troubleshooting Guide
Troubleshooting a network means that you will have to recognize and diagnose network problems in order to keep the network working optimal. Your main concern as a network administrator is maintaining connectivity of all devices, a process often called fault management. Another responsibility as an administrator is to evaluate and improve the network's performance. Because most of the network problems can begin as performance problems you should pay attention to performance and solve all your issues before they become serious and then you may need to perform Bay Area troubleshooting.
The Bay Area troubleshooting can be performed when you have trouble with connectivity. This may occur when end stations cannot communicate with other areas of your local area network or wide area network. You will need to perform Bay Area troubleshooting in case of loss of connectivity that refers to the situation when users cannot access areas of the network, intermittent connectivity and timeout problems.
You will also have to perform Bay Area troubleshooting in case you have performance problems, which usually appear when the network is not operating as effectively as it should. The performance problems that you may face include response time too slow, the network may not be as reliable as usual and the users complain that it takes them longer to do their job.
The way you are going to perform the Bay Area troubleshooting depends on the site's network configuration and your network's normal behavior. If you experience changes on the network check to see if the change is expected or unusual, if this has happened before, if the change involves a device or network path for which you have prepared a backup solution, if the change interferes with vital network operations and if the change affects one or many devices or network paths and decide whether or not is necessary to perform Bay Area troubleshooting.
