Problem
A network engineer must check for duplex mismatches on equipment because these mismatches can cause significant performance issues. A duplex mismatch occurs when two connected devices operate in different modes–one in full duplex, the other in half duplex–leading to collisions, errors, and retransmissions. This degrades network throughput and increases latency. Regularly identifying and correcting duplex mismatches ensures efficient communication between devices, optimizing network performance and maintaining a stable, high-performing environment.
Solution
PagerDuty Automation detects and resolves duplex mismatches by scheduling and executing predefined tasks and scripts across network devices. It regularly monitors equipment to verify duplex settings using SNMP, CLI commands, or APIs. When a mismatch is detected, it triggers alerts to notify network engineers and generates detailed reports for analysis. Additionally, it can automate corrective actions, such as adjusting duplex settings to maintain optimal network performance and reliability.
