Any good Cisco Troubleshooting books?

[hfakoor222]

Looking for something that will help me monitor day to day operations, via commands and device features. For example show biderictional forwarding, event-trace, unplugged cables. I'm writing python scripts to monitor the network, and so monitoring from a scripting perspective I'd like to know how to actually properly troubleshoot network issues. Any good books for Cisco equipment troubleshooting?

Suggestions welcome, I'll be tooking through the table of contents and some of the book to see what it has.

The monitor point it changes from place to place.

Most cases you need to monitor and use day to day operation.

1. Up link ports status (up or down)

2. any critical device connected ports up and down, general access port ignore

3. check any IGP neighbourship

4. check the Ports up status (compare to last day up for co-relation and usage base)

5. check routing table

6. check STP status

7. PSU status

8. CPU status

9. memory status

Note : if you have syslog server most information is shipped to syslog you can also make reports based on the logs

you can also use SNMP to get more information based in usage reports of ports.

most of the above can also covered in NMS.
