When is the worst time for a network switch to die? How about when the big bosses are in the office trying to work, it’s a public holiday and you’re out marshalling aircraft.
I managed to talk people through to a point where they could work again and came in this evening. Working through the systems, I confirmed that yet another WISE 10/100 fast network switch had died. This is the fourth one in just over a year so I’ll be replacing it with something bigger and slightly better.
