Loved listening to Paul Harvey's stories!

That sounds super frustrating to try and diagnose. Quick question - if you swap that power supply you unplugged that killed POE into a different switch does POE die on that? Maybe a bad power supply in your RMA'd switch?

At my previous company, I've had terrible experience with Extreme switches. Customer service rep and myself have built a nice relationship due to faulty switches I've came across.

Interesting, hope Extreme finds an answer to why all this is happening

PoE headers will randomly plague us. I’ve found it’s due to either heat or dust. Also, one thing we do is stacking with the SFP+ ports and FS MM transceivers. Helps if we have a power problem on one switch it won’t carry to each stack member (as long as it isn’t power related on the AC side)

G'morning brother, Grace & Peace 2 U! Oh wow! I remember listening to Paul Harvey's radio show with my grandfather on Saturdays:eyes-pink-heart-shape: Thanks once again for a great video! That is weird how equipment will develop a mind of it's own. I like your troubleshooting approach, I've actually taken several notes on your process to implement with my own to get the job done! I appreciate all that U do 4 us and have a great and blessed day! God Bless!🙏🏽:person-turqouise-waving:

Seeing this video and thinking about my comment on your last video, I recognise the problems with the Extreme switches from years ago, my advise, start thinking about something different :) Random reboots, Loosing random stackmembers, Loosing PoE.... In the past we dropped stacking of the switches made them more stable.
-
Also, I’ve seen flapping stack ports cause kernel panic and reboots
-
Do have the same OS version all over? Is that a universal hardware or older X ?
-
Stones throw away from you in Modesto, CA - Extreme switches are super problematic.. Go Cisco if you can they're worth the extra $$
