Summary


In this chapter, we covered some ways of troubleshooting issues that may come up on our Linux-based networks. While it's impossible to detail every possible thing that can go wrong, this chapter serves as a starting point for common issues that you might face. We started off by looking at routing issues as well as DHCP and DNS troubleshooting.
