Diagnosis and Troubleshoot

Network Diagnose & Troubleshoot

Reachabiliy Diagnosis and Troubleshoot

  1. Check IPv4/IPv6 address of port and Port up/down status.
  2. ping each others physical interface
  3. Ping successful, check ping loopbacks(or advertised/ received prefixes)
  4. In case of Link State protocols, the link neiborship happens via link-local address(same IP address for IPv4 adjacencies whereas link-local FE:xx for IPv6 adjacencies), check for link-local address blocking.
  5. Area types(Level 1, Level 2, and Level 1-2) mismatch. NET areas mismatch. Network type(point-to-point, broadcast) mismatch.
  6. Topology mismatch(single, Multi).
  7. Wrong consideration while interconnecting different isis levels.
  8. ISIS metrics and metric-type mismatches.
