happens ?
▫ When did the problem first occur ?
▫ What changes were made before
the problem have started ?
▫ Is the problem reproducible ?
• Collect data from:
▫ Affected users, administrators,
managers, and any key people
involved with the network etc.

TS Algorithm – Create Plan
• Develop a plan for how you will
test the most likely causes of the
problem.
• Plan to change just one variable at
a time
• Document your action plans. Each
plan should describe a set of steps
to be executed.
• Prepare a roll-back plan in case
your actions make matters worse.

TS Algorithm – Implement the Plan and
Observe the Results
• Follow the steps that you created
in your action plan and observe
the results.
• Make sure you document which
plan you are currently trying
otherwise it is too easy to repeat
yourself.
• Test all fixes that you make. Be
sure you do not make the problem
worse or introduce new problems.

TS Algorithm – Implement the Plan
• When you have resolved the
problem, you have one more
important step remaining -
documenting the results.
• Documenting the resolution will
help you in the future when a
similar problem occurs.
• In addition to documenting the
resolution, be sure to save any
configuration changes you made.
If necessary, update your network
maps.

T.S. Approaches
• Theoretical – “Scientist”
approach
• Practical – “Caveman”
Approach
23. Network Analysis Using Wireshark Version 2Network Analysis using Wireshark V.2 yoram@ndi-com.com
Network analysis using Wireshark V2 yoram@ndi-com.comPage 23
• The “Scientist” approach will be to
analyze and re-analyze the situation
until the exact cause of the problem
has been identified
• This approach will finally lead for
solving the problem, but although this
process is fairly reliable.
Theoretical - Scientist Approach
24. Network Analysis Using Wireshark Version 2Network Analysis using Wireshark V.2 yoram@ndi-com.com

• The “Caveman” first instinct is start
swapping cards, cables, hub's, and
everything available, until
miraculously, the network begins to
work, even though not always
properly.
• The problem with the “caveman”
approach is that most of the times
the root cause of the problem will
still be present.
Practical - The Caveman Approach
25. Network Analysis Using Wireshark Version 2Network Analysis using Wireshark V.2 yoram@ndi-com.com
Network analysis using Wireshark V2 yoram@ndi-com.comPage 25
• Analyze the network as a whole - rather than in pieces.
• Ask the questions - then collect the information - concentrate on
the problem - and then replace one broken ring in the chain to
solve it.
• Do not forget to verify that the problem have been truly fixed.
• Many problems can be user problems or mental problems that do
not involve anything in the network. Eliminate these problems at
the beginning!
The Right Approach

Summary
• In this lesson we talked about:
▫ Work in order
▫ Document, Document, Document!
▫ Scientist or Caveman? Both, as required
