Ghost ports (lemmy.world)
submitted 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) by westo232@lemmy.world to c/sysadmin@lemmy.world

In the middle of a live VLAN readressing of a 200-node company, I encountered this gem. The ports just kept blinking on even after plugging out the cables. (HP aruba 24 port switch)

One turned off after a reboot.

Really? I've never seen that. In my experience, those labels are for the ports themselves, not the lights.
