network. You want to keep records of the network

load for a week to see if traffic should be

redistributed or balanced.

Net Flow

Certain employees are reporting sporadic network

availability on a daily basis. You think it could be a

router or switch issue, but you are unsure and want

to perform a quick check on the links on your

network equipment.

Syslog

A check should be made about the status of each

interface on the company routers and switches.

Status information includes:

 Which octets have been sent and received

 Ping errors and discarded traffic
