get their jobs done. Yesterday’s 10/100 link
tools are blind to more than half of today’s
most common problems. The LinkRunner Pro
and Duo give visibility to 90% of basic link
problems with gigabit negotiation, 802.1X
authentication, PoE verification, and CDP/
EDP/LLDP support. And if the LinkRunner
Pro or Duo can’t solve the problem, it will
generate comprehensive link status reports
to facilitate communication when routing
trouble tickets to higher levels.
