You can use the Statistics Manager to save tables to files as follows:
1. Use the Statistics Manager Screen Manager tool to add the routing tables
in the Default Screen List window to the Current Screen List window.
2. For each routing table:
a. Use the Launch Facility tool to display it.
b. Use the File➔Save option to save the contents of it to a formatted
ASCII file.
You can use any editor to read the ASCII files, or print and organize them for later
reference.
A map of your network configuration is another useful resource to have available
for troubleshooting. Include information about the hardware, the software, and the
cables you are using. When troubleshooting a problem, compare the next hop on
the network map to that of the forwarding table associated with the problem
protocol.
Documenting Each Step
An effective troubleshooting strategy includes taking detailed notes as you
perform each procedure. These notes are useful because
• They give you an opportunity to pause and think clearly about the problem
and the procedures you are following.
You are more likely to develop a methodical and reasoned approach, and think
of solutions during this reflective period.
• They provide you with a record of the tasks you performed. This record is
essential because
— You can refer to it during the procedure in order to recall whether you
already performed a certain task.
A diagnostic procedure can include many tasks. It is easy to forget, for
example, which statistics you checked and what they revealed at a given
time.
