I would agree with Scott's comments concerning troubleshooting. If you
built it, you should know what possible issues could cause your network to
not function correctly. It's sort of a reversal of the process you went
through when you built it. Suppose that when you were creating your
network, one of your interfaces was in an up/down state. What would you
have done to correct that? Well, if you enter the troubleshooting stage,
and see that one of your interfaces is up/down, then you should know what
could cause that, and how to resolve it.
To prepare for troubleshooting, try to imagine all possible things that
could go wrong. What would you do if you cannot access a router? What
would you do if you are unable to enter enable mode? What would you do if a
router is not communicating properly with a neighbor? Review your configs
to see if there are missing statements that you had configured previously,
or if there are additional statements that you did not enter. Try to be
logical with your troubleshooting. Know what your network should do,
determine if it is doing all that, find the places where it is not, look for
possible causes of that symptom, and apply resolutions to those causes.
