What it does

Diagnose link health from counter trends and error analysis

Best for

Systematic link troubleshooting before hardware replacement, with trend evidence.

Inputs
  • · show interfaces output
  • · counter baseline
  • · interval measurement
Outputs
  • · error diagnosis
  • · counter trend analysis
  • · cable/hardware assessment
Requires
  • · network device CLI
Preconditions

Device access, baseline captured, second measurement interval recorded

Failure modes
  • · Historical counters masked by resets
  • · Single-sided measurement misses transceiver issues
  • · Parser assumes Cisco format
Trust signals
  • · Counter reference table with cause mappings
  • · Diagnosis flow with state interpretation
  • · Safe parser example with header boundaries
  • · Examples of CRC and drop scenarios
