# Device Inspection - Comprehensive L1-L4
## Applicable Scenarios
- Comprehensive network health assessment (all test devices)
- Full stack network inspection (L1-L4)
- Network baseline establishment and verification
- Pre-maintenance complete audit
## Identification Signals
User questions contain: "inspect", "comprehensive", "full check", "all devices", "L1-L4"
## Execution Strategy
1. **List all devices in 'test' group** using list_devices(group="test")
2. **For each device, execute comprehensive inspection** covering L1 (Physical), L2 (Data Link), L3 (Network), L4 (Transport)
3. **Generate consolidated report** with device-by-device status
4. **Flag anomalies** across all layers
## Comprehensive Inspection Template (L1-L4)
### L1 - Physical Layer
- [ ] `show version` (Device model, serial, uptime)
- [ ] `show inventory` (Hardware modules, power supplies, fans)
- [ ] `show environment all` (Temperature, power status, fan status)
- [ ] `show interfaces` (Physical port states, media types)
### L2 - Data Link Layer
- [ ] `show vlan brief` (VLAN configuration and status)
- [ ] `show spanning-tree summary` (STP topology, root bridge)
- [ ] `show spanning-tree detail` (Port states, costs)
- [ ] `show cdp neighbors` (CDP neighbor discovery)
- [ ] `show mac address-table` (MAC table status, count)
### L3 - Network Layer
- [ ] `show ip route summary` (Route count and protocol summary)
- [ ] `show ip ospf neighbor` (OSPF neighbor status)
- [ ] `show ip ospf interface brief` (OSPF interface states)
- [ ] `show ip bgp summary` (BGP neighbor status)
- [ ] `show ip bgp vpnv4 all summary` (VPNv4 status if applicable)
### L4 - Transport Layer & Services
- [ ] `show tcp brief` (TCP session count)
- [ ] `show processes cpu` (CPU utilization and process breakdown)
- [ ] `show memory statistics` (Memory usage across memory pools)
- [ ] `show interfaces counters errors` (Error counters on all interfaces)
- [ ] `show interfaces counters dropped` (Dropped packet counters)

### Device-by-Device Detailed Results
Each device gets a full L1-L4 report:
```
╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗
║ Device: R1 (10.1.1.1) - Core Router ║
║ Platform: Cisco IOS XE ║
║ Status: ✅ ALL SYSTEMS OK ║
╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝
Layer 1 (Physical):
CPU Utilization: 15% (5min avg) ✅
Memory Usage: 62% (avaitestle: 8.2GB) ✅
Temperature: 42°C (threshold: 70°C) ✅
Power Supplies: 2/2 ACTIVE ✅
Fans: 6/6 SPINNING ✅
Layer 2 (Data Link):
VLAN Count: 45 ✅
Active Ports: 48/48 UP ✅
STP Root: YES (Priority: 24576) ✅
LLDP Neighbors: 4 discovered ✅
Layer 3 (Network):

OSPF Neighbors: 3 FULL ✅
BGP Neighbors: 2 ESTABLISHED ✅
Routing Errors: 0 ✅
Layer 4 (Transport):
Interface Errors: 0 (24h avg) ✅
Dropped Packets: 0 (24h avg) ✅
TCP Sessions: 45 active ✅
UDP Flows: 128 active ✅
```
### Anomaly Details & Recommendations
```
⚠️ WARNING: R2 - Temperature trending high
Current: 58°C | Trend: +2°C/hour | Threshold: 70°C
Recommendation: Monitor closely, ensure adequate airflow
❌ CRITICAL: A2 - Power supply #1 degraded
Status: FAILED | Uptime before failure: 847 days
Recommendation: Replace PSU immediately before other PSU fails
```
### Consolidated Findings
```
Critical Issues (Immediate Action):
1. A2 Power Supply Failure - Replace PSU
2. A1 BGP Neighbor Flapping - Check link stability
Warnings (Monitor):
1. R2 Temperature trending up - Check cooling
2. S2 STP Bridge Priority - May need rebalancing
3. R3 Interface FCS Errors increasing - Check optics
Informational (Good Status):
- All core devices operating normally
- test network stable and well-managed
```
## Multi-Device Inspection Process
1. **Device Collection**: Query all devices in 'test' group
2. **Parallel Execution**: Execute inspection template on each device
3. **Data Aggregation**: Collect and normalize results
4. **Analysis**: Compare against health baselines
5. **Reporting**: Generate comprehensive multi-device report with:
- Overall network health score
- Device-by-device status
- Cross-layer dependency analysis
- Consolidated recommendations
