We identified a link between 2 switches that was having intermittent physical errors just a bit ago. The offending copper bits have been thrown to the depths of hell. There were several access points in the center of Millenium Hall that were fed via this link and, as such, most likely contributed to some of the issues people were seeing this morning.
Suggestion: you (and everyone else who's ever in your position at a Large Networking Conference) should *run a netops blog, and make sure it's well publicized in the week leading up to the conference -- and at registration*. Or, even, run a Twitter account to which people can subscribe from their cellphones via SMS, on which you announce problems and fixes. Communications, *way* ahead of the curve, ameliorates the impact of this sort of problems remarkably. Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
