Welcome, gentle reader, to another instalment of Who, Me? in which we cushion your entry to the working week with tales ofreaders having worse days than you. So kick off your shoes and socks, make fists with your toes, and read on.
As our story begins, the shiny new 7000s were in place and operating in parallel with the existing 4500s. All that remained was to"move all the root bridges for the vlans from the 4500 to the 7000."
