Network admin life- oops a Daisy

in this week's video I come to a startling conclusion about a previous video. I was wrong!

I had a Ubiquiti switch do some stupid stuff before. However, it would have to run for a while and get up to operating temp, and then the POE would simply stop working. Nothing in the switch changed when I looked at logs or anything like that. I would restart and the POE would come back for a while. Replaced the switch and went to track down the issues with an Oscilloscope and found a bad capacitor and a bad filter. Cost me 1.00 to fix and about 30 man hours of downtime. I was not happy!

I am guessing that traffic needs to be flowing between the stacking module to see the issue pop up. It also cannot be in the primary switch.

I am not an Extreme user, but I would take a guess and say the memory utilization might have been Tx retries through that stacking port. Mgmt frames not getting through to the primary switch or something.

Forget about lack of strap, I am eyeballing the nearby sink! lol . I'm just jealous. I die of thirst while stuck in the DC

This is why its called computer science, you try a theory, sometimes it will work, other times it won't. If everything worked all the time, then there would be no need for IT people. Rebuilding the stack will allow you to test your next theory. It maybe the cable or the connection on the module.

Always a pleasure watching your videos! I am in a position where I have to keep inventory(IP address, Windows, user details, monitor assigned to that user and so on) of more than 60 computers, over 30 printers and scanners and AP's and I am kind of "lost". I am trying all kind of methods to document everything in an excel file, all the network, in different sheets but doesn't really work the way I want. Could you make a video with how you documented you network in Excel? If you use is of course...Thank you in advance!

When I was at HP. I asked around to the guys who worked on the electronics to confirm what I heard about through the years. Simple is ground natural. I think that is the correct wording. Also on your issue. Yea, I hate that. When I first started in computers. (Mostly home computers.) Had it down to pretty much what caused an issue, how it was fixed and could re-produce it. I'm not saying it is not possible. But in some instances. Just (mostly for software.) you through a list at it and see if that cures the issues. Normally it does. As for your switch problem. As sated before can be a whole list of things. Firmware, os version, hardware revision of switch. A few years after I got into computers. I was building a school order. Did the old IDE hard drive as primary IDE and the CD-Rom drive as Secondary IDE. Both drives set to master. The CD-Rom drive did not work. Wed had like 30+ machines to build. I of course build a 2nd machine. Same issue. Then went through the list. Updates the bios and such. Talked to the mfgs. (Can't remember if I talked to all the mfgs.) If I changed the hdd to a different mfg it worked. If I changed the CD-Rom to a different mfg it works. If I put that same combo on master / salve on IDE it worked. So that is how we built them. The IT guy at the school was not impressed and came back said all machines from then on need to have the first configuration. So after that we started ordering in on large order 2 or 3 sample machines. Did all the setup and make sure it would work. Before ordering the rest of them. Anyway I hoped you enjoyed the story. TTFN. Oh and yes if you believe in the Lord that is great. Have a good day.

Good Morning, God Bless, and we meet again, my brother. I'm just sitting here on the couch tryng to get myself together from just waking up, and I'm watching your video here, and I'm laughing. On a lite note, my question is: Why do you have the equipment near the sink? Are you trying to give yourself A Don King Special???? 🙃 . As for your expansion card (If that is an expansion card), don't worry about the problem too hard...You might have just experienced what many of us do when we are in the desert, A MIRAGE!!!! joe.

I would check the module, when there is more load on it, perhabs it will fail in this case?!

[StrongbowTX]

I've never worked with Extreme switches before. Is the colorized console standard for Extreme switches, or is that a product of your terminal software? If the software, what are you using?

[biondilorenzo]

As you sed at the end of the video, i would try to rebuild a stack, maybe the problem appears when the two stacking ports are active and utilized

hello sir Good morning? how are you! nice video sir

[mf]

Random - do those power supplies run for that long even after you pulled the plug? Must be some wild capacitors in there!

[anthonydefallo]

Are you using those 3935’s everywhere or migrating over to the 400/500/5000 series?

[samjones]

Good mornin and Grace & Peace 2 U and your family 2 day and Happy Father's day 2 U! Thanks once again 4 another great troubleshooting video! Wow if it's not the line card could it be the actual configuration? Maybe the duplex and speed are wonky. When all else fails, blow the switch away and reconfig from the ol trusty thumb drive Well I hope U have a great Father's day brother and I'll see U next week God willing! Take it easy and be blessed brother!🙏🏽

[jasonnorton]

Are they the same model switches? Also are they running the same firmware?

hmm. love this channel and that you are a god loving man but why do you say OUR when you talk about Jesus at the beginning? I'm Jewish so it's not really our...
