Hellos,
We have physically connected two switches: HP and Cisco (I believe), via
CAT6 cable.
One switch is located at the Server Area and the other on the second floor
(which will be used to connect computers that can be used by the public in
general).
THE CALL:
The layer one part is done, but I feel that someone else with more
switching/routing knowledge than me should check this two switches for any
possible misconfiguration. I am not keen on this, but I could help someone
that can lead this part.
Please let me know if someone else already done this, so I can drop this
part and continue with the rest of things that need to be done on the
second floor.
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

The two switches light up today (Sunday).
One of the termination had to be redone.

Juul: Yes, I am excited that we are getting this
done.
Anyways, the good news: The HP switch is up on the column and its powered
up.
The cable that comes from the building entrance's door was terminated and
its connected to the Switch in the second floor area. The cable that
connects to the Switch in the second floor area and the Server area was
also connected to the switch.
Okay, the not so good news: The switches are not talking.
Somewhere along the line wire no. 1 is broken or not connecting.
Wires 7 and 8 show issues also. I re-punched the end at the Patch Panel;
but this didn't help.
I will come back tomorrow, Sunday, and re-do the end at the second floor.
I hope that takes care of it.

Okay folks, the run from the second floor (where
the public computers
area) to the server area has been done.
It took me a few hours, moving like molasses, but it is done! :)
* One end has been terminated at the Server area patch panel port 32.
* The other end of the cable was terminated to a female RJ45 connector
(without a box, because I didn't find one).
Awesome! The installation is so close to completed now!
I WILL BE MOVING HP SWITCH UP THE WALL:
I noticed that a HP Procurve 24 port switch was left on top of one of
the desktop computers; but I will move it up to the column above this
table, so members and visitors don't mess with it. -Remember, this switch
is feeding a connection the door lock system and, I believe, also the
bookstore register area. And we really don't want those two connections to
lose connections, just because someone unplugged the wrong cable or
unplugged the wrong electrical cord or etc, etc.
Good idea, I had placed it there simply to indicate that that switch
would be good to use for that area.
