Conclusion
This class is a mixture of LAN Advisor training and Ethernet troubleshooting. The presentation will deal mostly with the measurements in the Hewlett-Packard LAN Advisor. The labs will focus on using the Advisor to troubleshoot common LAN problems.
The organization is based around the LAN Advisor toolbar, starting with Expert Analyzer and going through the Configuration options. Some mixing of topics will naturally occur since most of the measurements are interconnected and interdependent.
