3)Confirm whether the ISP issue is connectivity or DNS by performing a ping and traceroute to both a hostname and an external IP address you have tested before. If only a DNS issue, the ping/traceroute to the hostname will fail, but the IP address will succeed. If it’s a connectivity issue, the traceroute will determine at what network device the connection fails, by its IP address.

4)Call your ISP. Open a ticket with them. Get a ticket number. Request to speak to Tier 2/NOC. Provide them with the IP of the failed device, assuming it belongs to your ISP. Make sure you talk to Tier 2/NOC. Tier 1 will have no idea what you are talking about.

5)Wait for service to be restored.

4) Fire:
