Chapter 6: Initial troubleshooting
The types of problems that typically occur with networks involve connectivity and performance. Using the
Open System Interconnection (OSI) network architecture layers, and checking each in sequential order,
is usually best when troubleshooting. For example, confirm that the physical environment, such as the
cables and module connections, is operating without any failures before moving up to the network and
application layers.
As part of your initial troubleshooting, Avaya recommends that you check the Knowledge and Solution
Engine on the Avaya Web site for known issues and solutions related to the problem you are experiencing.
