   We dont talk about the troubleshooting portion very much on this
   list. I would like to start some discussion.
   
   
   I always take the OSI model approach to my troubleshooting. Although
   it is thorough, it may be more time consuming than other approaches.
   I start with layer 1. That is, I check all of my physical connections
   first. Then I would go to layer 2. This would include making sure
   that all of my interfaces are in an up-up state, including tunnels and
   dlsw peer connections. Lastly, I start pinging everywhere and getting
   the routing fixed. If all three layers are working everywhere, you
   know you got all the errors.
   
   
   Does anyone have a different approach they think is better?
