Wow... almost mid-November.
School is over, I'm back to real work. Have a client needs a phone, on back order. Have a Supervisor Card to plug into a dead Cisco 6509, but it's in the mail, somewhere. Have a client switching from Analog to ISDN in hopes of bypassing a noisy analog trunk, but that involves taking her phone off-line for a while and could I please come back Thursday?
So I grab the 24 port Ethernet Switch and take it over to the B-Building for installation. Unbolt lower and rebolt a shelf, a power strip, and two Cisco 2600's. Which gives me the space to mount the new switch. Power up, connect the fibers, head for the Main LAN room.
The ports for the new switch on the B-Router are dark, they need to be turned on. The ports for the new switch on the A-Router are dark, because that's the 6509 that is awaiting a Sup Card (see above). Call Implementor, might as well wait until the router is up before enabling the switch.
So now I get to run LAN cables from the closet with the new switch to the Tech Rooms where they need the LAN access.
It's all Fun.....
