I used to look after an office location that had three racks with older generation HP Procurve switches. About once every 4-6 months, the whole lot would go haywire and the only way to settle down the network was to switch them all off, wait, and then power up again. We never did track down the root cause and could never make it happen on demand,
- sitkack 8y agoCould be a totally valid solution ... for an equipment rental place. Pretty sure people died that didn't have to with this 911 outage.
- cyberpunk 8y agoOh god, I had to deal with some procurve switches in a past life. They were a nightmare to manage and unreliable. We actually ended up replacing them on 2 racks with 24port unmanaged gbit 3com ones we bought from some high street electronics shop one night during an outage... Not a fun memory.. (Of course, those were later replaced with some proper equipment)
