I just had a network recently drop all connections to every server and terminal across 3 branches... fun stuff. We found what had happened is one of five Nortel Baystack 450-24t switches that we had daisy chained together broke the chain. When linked to the chain it froze up the network and dropped connections across the board. I'd like to test to see if this switch is still in working order. I can do it through the com port? Any suggestions?
