    Thank you for showing and sharing with us some real life scenarios that will help me remember things

    I use a red patch cable between modem and router and then yellow patch cables to connect between switches. And another color for other things that might have been hooked up that are not part of the regular network. That way I can always quickly identify the most important network cables. Pull the red cable if an unintended email was send ;-)

    You must have Hercules working there. That UPS in the next rack at the top must be fun to service. Replacing a failed switch is always fun - we're running Cisco and I've lost two in a stack in the last year. We're just starting a project to replace all our access layer switches so hopefully I can get that done before we lose any more.

    "finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire" LOL nice one.

    17:32 when you said serial port on there , Siri stopped the video and waited for me to say a command. 😏
  • @tonyw6427
    The one OCD trigger for me is the label on the outside of the left hand wing of the switch between the cage nuts that you had to remove with the old (bad) switch. I was waiting for you to say that you were putting it back as the "last thing to do", but it didn't happen (on camera at least). 😉 We all forget those little things sometimes (at least I do).

    Good to see purple iron deployed, in action. Something besides Cisco or HPE!
  • @Darkk6969
    Cool video. I am curious as to what brand the switches are. Haven't seen those before.
  • @watch1ngy0utub3
    Supported elevated data cabinets in a manufacturing environment. Doing a quad switch stack code upgrade on a scissor lift 16ft in the air is after hours is a royal pain. Hopefully you got out of there at a decent hour to enjoy the day.

    can you type your network cabling connection? I did not get well how do you connect them but it sounds very organized.
