LAN Cutover
So they managed to talk me into accepting a little overtime -- needs of the service. We were cutting over the LAN for the El Segundo Yellow Pages office, and they wanted me for backup in case of any troubles. I bit different than most of our cuts, we cut from outside contractors to SBC provided. The workstations were DHCP, no problem. The printers were handled by another group and they were supposed to change the IP addresses. 'Cept they couldn't access a couple of the printers. A Lenmark laser -- Lilian: "they're e-mailing me the instructions" Me: "I've already reset it." The Lenmark can set the IP from the front panel. A Xerox Phaser -- "telnet?" "web-- it uses an http interface."
Once the printers were set with IP addresses to match the new LAN we simply moved the 46 LAN connections from the old hubs to the new hubs. And make sure everything is connected and that the print servers point to the new addresses. They did. Easy money.
