LAN/WAN Network Troubleshooting & Performance Analysis Guide
Diagnose LAN/WAN issues fast using systematic log analysis and metrics
What You Can Do
You get a structured troubleshooting framework to quickly identify and resolve connectivity, performance, and routing problems in enterprise networks. Feed Claude your logs, metrics, and network topology—it will systematically isolate the root cause (misconfiguration, hardware failure, routing loop, bandwidth saturation) and deliver step-by-step remediation. This methodology compresses MTTR by skipping guesswork and following proven diagnostic paths.
Features
Example Output
Connectivity Loss Diagnosis:
ROOT CAUSE: BGP route withdrawal due to neighbor down
EVIDENCE: Router logs show OSPF neighbor flap at 14:23, BGP holdtimer expired
REMEDIATION: 1) Verify link MTU 2) Restart BGP on peer 3) Monitor neighbor recovery
ESCALATION: If neighbor doesn't recover in 5 min, escalate to ISP link team
Performance Degradation Analysis:
LATENCY: 120ms → 250ms (+108%) in 2 hours
THROUGHPUT: 80 Mbps → 20 Mbps indicates congestion
FLOW DATA: 70% traffic is backup jobs (non-critical)
ACTION: 1) Enable QoS priority 2) Schedule backup off-peak 3) Request ISP upgrade
TIMELINE: Relief expected 30 min after QoS deployment
Routing Loop Detection:
INTERFACE FLAP: up/down every 10 sec (reproducible pattern)
OSPF SPF STORM: 47 recalculations in 5 minutes
ROOT CAUSE: OSPF cost mismatch on dual-homed link (100 vs 500)
FIX: Adjust secondary link cost to 500
VERIFY: SPF rate should drop to <1 per minute post-fix
