9. Network Troubleshooting Methodology 1. Identify the problem 2. Establish a theory of probable cause 3. Test a theory of probable cause 4. Establish a plan of action and identify potential effects 5. Implement the plan or escalate 6. Verify full system functionally 7. Document findings, actions, and outcomes © 2017 Edgecore Networks.

13. Truth Table Example • 若網路線沒插 -> Ping 不到 • P → Q • 若 Ping 的到，則網路線有插 • ~Q → ~P ≡ P → Q • 若 Ping 不到，則網路線沒插 • Q → P ≠ P → Q • 若網路線沒插且網路設定錯誤，則 Ping 不到 • (P1 ∧ P2) → Q • 若 Ping 不到，則網路線沒插或網路設定錯誤 • ~Q -> (~P1 ∨ ~P2) ≡ (P1 ∧ P2) → Q • Too many interfering factor © 2017 Edgecore Networks.
