Network troubleshooting is not only a desirable skill in the field, but often it's a necessity!  As a network engineer, you will be faced with numerous network issues that will need troubleshooting - ranging from a cable being unplugged to a complicated routing issue. In this discussion, you are faced with a network that is in serious need of troubleshooting - and fixing. There are quite a few network "issues" you will need to fix- some may be obvious, some not so obvious. Let's put on that "network engineer troubleshooting hat" and get to work!
