Jitter graph for the past two hours:
Ping graph over the last two hours.
Short downtime was when I moved my cable back to the switch.
Seems to me the best thing to do would be reboot the firewall and see if that fixes it.
I'll have to try that. Can't do it right now though.
Yeah, I understand. If you guys have a time when most people go to lunch, just tell everyone you're gonna bring the network down for 10 minutes and to grab some coffee and food in the meantime.
I was just going to send out an email telling everyone this.
Great minds think alike.

Feeling like I need an intern today, desk is piling up.

Looking at the openNMS project.

@g.jacobse After you get done with that one, check out Zabbix! (http://www.zabbix.com)

Answer: they weren't.

That is one thing I wish ML had, and I know we're working on getting is more questions. However, I like answering printer questions, and we don't get too many of those.
I think most people aside from the smallest shops use MFPs under contracts. It's a better deal to use one networked MFP for both copying, printing and faxing than use separate or more units.

Because printers need to die in a fire right along with POTS and faxing.

I really don't understand why IT people hate printers so much as a rule. However, I do know I'm the exception in not hating them.

Annoys me as it killed my box somehow. I still think something else happened and that's what they are saying. I'm going to play around with it on another box and see if I can get it to break, otherwise I'm going with it was an IO issue that caused something to get corrupted which is my guess.

They aren't IT. They are machines that's why.

Not necessarily. Most small shops have one printer that does everything. Some have contracts, others not. The range of quality in managed print contracts is huge. However, it's primarily only the smallest shops that have only one printer. Most businesses have several printers, and usually a combination of black/white and color.

We've always just put one Ricoh or konica minolta (under contract) in each department area. Centralizes scanning, printing, copying and faxing. And saves a lot of money. It also means the department can handle maintenance themselves. Out of toner or paper just replace it. anything else call your contract contact.

There's no need to do this with copiers that support both black and white plus color. Just deploy two printers for each with group policy one with a B&W only setting and one as color. Keeps people from accidentally printing color.

Everyone that I know does (bigger shops, that is.)

At my old job I had to put in a setting just like that for people with only a code could print in color. It cut's down on ink usage and copier/printer issues.

Not sure why.... Paper (not printers) has been around for centuries. The biggest thing about paper now is that it's either non or archival type.
Now POTS and Faxing... yea.. better ways to do that.@BMarie said:

When you have a single or even a few of the devices - codes can be useful to track who's beating it to death, and breaking out the costs of the contract.

We had plenty of that, it was nice to be able to keep track of it.

Just did... doesn't seem to have helped. I will wait for Cisco/Meraki to get back to me. Maybe it is something I didn't configure correctly.
