device baselining

The week goes by without hearing from people asking for me to perform a baseline.Show more

I also got a lot of requests asking to create a template booked some time to help them perform a baseline.

Not to sound like a console, but every baseline is completely different depending on the equipment, the network, and your ultimate goal.
In this video I show you how I started baseline with the camera and my Profitap IOTA. Of course you can start any baseline using Wireshark which is completely free, but the gold for your first race line should be to document the equipment location, network topology, hang your cool.

For example you might say I want to see how this camera behaves when it boots up. You would want to investigate which device is communicating with, which protocols that using, and possibly the load put up on the network.

I strongly encourage you not to get overwhelmed with too much detail up front because if you have a trace file, you should be able to go back to me point and retrieve any information that you may decide is important at a later date.

Enjoy
