Network Troubleshooting Tools
Network troubleshooting is a systematic approach for identifying network problems, which can then be addressed using established solutions that enhance network security. It is advantageous because it uses repeatable steps that are determined by various factors such as the problem and the type of the network. The approach is more effective than using guesswork because it involves testing every function on the individual network components as well as documenting the findings. Network troubleshooting involves the use of various tools that assist administrators in testing various aspects of a network. Fing and Nmap are some tools that are valuable in troubleshooting and securing networks.
Fing is a mobile application that provides network scanning capabilities for various types of information that are useful for troubleshooting. For instance, ping is a utility that is used to assess network reachability (Violet, 2018). It is used to check the availability of various hosts in the network when troubleshooting. A scan of my home using the ping utility in the Fing mobile application displayed varied results after scanning at different times of the day. The network latency was variable throughout the day. The latency was lowest in the morning, highest during the day, but lowered at night. One of the issues that could cause the detected variation is network usage. In this case, more people use the network during the day, as opposed to night and morning. Many people connecting to the network caused an increase in latency. The network latency reduced when there were fewer users on the network in the morning and at night. Thus, my scan of the home network using the ping utility helped to highlight how problems such as reachability can occur as the number of network users increases.
In contrast, Nmap is a desktop application. It also enables the user to perform...
