Ticket from user:

NETWORK -- Only some of the ethernet ports in room xxxx are switched on. Can someone please turn the rest of them on?
Thank you

WHY? Are they making that room a lab? A facility for drop-ins to plug in and get Internet access? A secret server facility?

In order to bring up the ports, we need to determine what network to connect them to! We need some clue about how they will be used.

I used to love that...
"The jack on x cube isn't working!"

Well, is anyone sitting there?

"No, but it's broken, come fix it!"

For some reason I keep reading that as "Newark".

ahh but did they say what they wanted those ports connected to?

• etherkill 2000
  
• 10-base-2 centraliser
  
• vacuuous continuous (or the status quo)

"Can someone please turn... the rest of them on?"
They just want to be plugged, that's all
