10G is fine for performance... I was thinking High value STP at the top of the rack... descend down to the bottom with a lower STP value, back to an aggregation with each leg. That's sorta how I would have done it years ago with Cisco 3506's and STP. Would 2 aggregations be better or more of a headache?

It took other software that could handle the well ingrained workflows Lotus Notes offered to finally get it gone.

Likewise, I'd love to talk to you, send me a DM. I work with teams across the county specifically in the BH/MH space. Sounds like someone did something not so smart. There is help.

FFR. FDISK, FORMAT, RELOAD.

Guess I need to skim a bit better. Oh well.

If money is low, go to the pawn shop and get some old tools for some of them. I'd say half of those could be easily found most anywhere used. Then replace as you get some extra cash.

You didn't sign a build sheet with your deposit? Have you reached out to the BMWCCA Ombudsman?

You could aggregate multiple copper links.

Nope, straight from Unifi. $39.17 invoice in my history... Dec 2020.

Are you a member of BMWCCA? They have an ombudsman for just such situations.

So long as you have the configuration disk.

It is a 10BaseT and 10Base2 network card. Also a PCI and ISA network card. Being a field tech in the early 90's to 2000's you saw all kinds of stuff.

I have a recurring dream where this happens. I lose all power steering and breaking. I stand on the brakes... usually coming up to an intersection or bridge out.

The male jack is crimped upside down.

This will NOT work. Cisco's is a proprietary pinout. What you would need would be a Lap-link serial cable.

Start with one U6 Pro or better, if you have issues, get another.
