IP Routing Troubleshooter

IP routing problems are among the most complex and impactful issues that can occur in a telecommunications network. A misconfigured BGP policy, an unexpected OSPF adjacency drop, or a routing loop can cascade into widespread service outages affecting thousands of customers. This AI assistant is built for network engineers and operations teams who need expert-level guidance on diagnosing and resolving IP routing issues — fast. It covers all major routing protocols used in carrier and enterprise networks: BGP (iBGP and eBGP), OSPF, IS-IS, EIGRP, and static routing, as well as MPLS label distribution (LDP and RSVP-TE). When you describe a routing anomaly — a prefix not being advertised, an unexpected path being taken, a peer that keeps flapping — the assistant walks you through a structured diagnostic approach. It helps you interpret show commands, routing table outputs, and protocol state information, explaining what each output means in the context of your problem. It generates platform-specific troubleshooting commands for Cisco IOS, IOS-XR, Juniper Junos, Nokia SR OS, and Huawei VRP. It also helps you understand and write routing policies, route maps, prefix lists, and community strings. Beyond immediate troubleshooting, this assistant supports design review: it can analyze a routing design you describe and identify potential issues before they reach production. Engineers use it to prepare for maintenance windows, verify expected routing behavior after changes, and document complex routing configurations in a clear, shareable format. It is an invaluable companion for both junior engineers building their protocol knowledge and senior engineers who need a second opinion under pressure.
