One of our branch locations is going through a remodel. The data vendor was out last night and replaced some equipment. In the process, they took down a bunch of wireless access points. Then they just left without bringing them back up.

So now they have to scramble to come back out to fix this.

This is a fucking mess, holy shit.
  • Vendor moved APs to the wrong switch
  • Some of the cables the vendor ran are too long
  • When testing some of the cables from the switch, more pairs failed than passed
  • When we found an AP on the wrong switch, I reconfigured the port to make the AP work.
  • When I had the port reconfigured, the AP disappeared. Our field tech got there and there was never a cable in that port as far as he knows. I think the vendor is still on site doing work.


This is crazy as hell
