I remember a few such devices from before most everybody switched over to Cisco-ish 8P8C connectors. I think Ascend TNTs were backwards? And then there were some 8P8C that were backwards (IIRC some Adtran gear?), needing a rollover adapter to work with the typical Cisco-compatible cables. It'd be nice if network vendors could spend an extra couple of bucks to put a basic IPMI BMC on the management network interface, with serial over LAN and remote power cycle support. -- Chris Adams <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ NANOG mailing list https://lists.nanog.org/archives/list/[email protected]/message/CKVX5UVDGSST3WER3EBZ2WUKGFQEPCT7/
