Extreme Networks - Enable/Disable Inlinepower on a port

If you are looking to disable the power for devices such as AP's, Voip, phones, and Security cameras here are some commands that you will need to know so you will be able to see if the devices is delivering power or need to shut it on or off.

This is for the EXTREME switches.  (EXOS)

Network Switch boot times - Enterasys/Extreme/Cisco

So for a while I have been wondering what the boot time for different models of switches.  People always say that Cisco's switches are slow on bootups.  There are some differences with code versions which might make the switch boot faster but I was not worrying about those details as much.  I was looking for a general idea of how long a switch would take to boot up.

Here is the rules that I have when doing my testing.

- Fresh config
- Single switch (not stacked or VSS)
- Config only a vlan that is reachable out on the network
- Clock starts when switch is rebooted (as close as possible)
- Clock stops when the first ping reply is received

As I test more equipment I will post them here and hopefully have a link to the video.
