Network troubleshooting has evolved into a much more systematic process since the early days of networking. CCNP 4: Network Troubleshooting Lab Companion covers topics including documentation, baselining, troubleshooting tools, troubleshooting methodologies, and per-OSI-layer troubleshooting techniques. This book provides hands-on practice for attacking network problems in a methodical fashion. Using the OSI model as a subtext for describing the process of network troubleshooting, the labs work through step-by-step procedures to identify and solve network problems. Up-to-date methods consistent with the latest Cisco IOS releases are employed to efficiently and logically resolve network issues.

Successful completion and understanding of the topics covered in the labs help you to prepare for the Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting exam (#642-831), which is a qualifying exam for the CCNP certification.
