Quite some time ago I had some HP 4000M switches that, after a few months of uptime, would suddenly just start dropping ports. A firmware update eventually fixed that issue.

So anyway, we lost all connectivity around noon at our main office. After some various checks on the servers, I try to ping some of them from my workstation and every so often I get a reply but mostly its timing out. I go to our wire closet and shut off the UPS that all our switches are on, bring them back up and low and behold everything is working again. Anyone have any idea what one of these switches was doing to bring the network to its knees? If it happens again I will restart them individually to see which one caused the drama. Network was down for 45 minutes, not happy.
