One of the greatest reasons for doing all of this network mumbo jumbo is to simplify my network.
Irony is while I was doing more work on my network, I messed something up and a whole slew of issues cropped up preventing me figuring out what happened.
First off I inadvertently shutdown the wrong server.
Then I had my PDU labels wrong so I was shutting down nothing.
Then my core switch lost its mind, probably due to a spanning tree issue when I plugged stuff in.
Things have finally returned to normal.
Need to get to bed early, just doing pushups and situps.
