Here are ten steps to troubleshoot IP connectivity:
- Check cables and connections to ensure they are secure and properly configured.
- Verify that the correct IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway have been assigned to the device.
- Ping the local IP address to verify that the device has a working IP stack.
- Ping the default gateway to verify that the device can communicate with other network devices.
- Ping a public IP address (such as 8.8.8.8) to verify that the device has Internet connectivity.
- Check for network outages or other issues that may be affecting the device’s ability to connect to the network.
- Verify that the correct DNS servers are configured and that they are reachable.
- Check firewall settings to ensure that they are not blocking necessary connections.
- Use traceroute to identify any network routing issues that may be affecting connectivity.
- If all else fails, restart the device or reset it to its default settings to ensure that it is functioning properly.
Note: These steps may vary depending on the specific network setup and device being used.
