Troubleshooting a Cisco IP Telephony network can be a daunting task. Rather than describing step-by-step how to solve specific problems (subsequent chapters provide that information), Chapter 1 focuses on teaching a good troubleshooting methodology: learning how to find clues and track down your "suspect" by breaking the problem into smaller pieces and tackling each piece individually.
