In the middle of a live VLAN readressing of a 200-node company, I encountered this gem. The ports just kept blinking on even after plugging out the cables. (HP aruba 24 port switch)

One turned off after a reboot.

      client had 2 near identical switches, one had LEDs on each port, one had LEDs all on top, I was looking at each port wondering why they weren’t lighting up and thinking they were disabled in admin panel. took me a few minutes, I was an idiot that day.

        By the authority conferred to me through the “ownership” of approximately 25cm^2 of Scottish highland from a well-intentioned holiday present, I’m invoking my right as a Lord to grant you a pass on that one.
        It would take me a few minutes, too
