So here I've been the past 1 1/2 hours tracing cables, crimping cables, scratching my head with fiber connections, about to take everything apart and rebuild this lab... I was about to do some VoATM stuff and I couldn't connect to my LS1010. So guess what (and don't let this ever happen to you)... It helps to power the switch on... 
Forgot I had it on a separate power cord http://www.infiltrated.net/mydesk/homelab/ls1010.jpg Imagine failing an exam because you forgot to power on... One word... Caffeine!. Its definitely needed right now

Yeah sometimes we make problems out to be much more complicated than they are and we should troubleshoot at the basic starting points first. Don't feel bad as that kind of thing happens or will happen to all of us at some point.

Ouch...I'm pretty sure I've done that at least once.

What's even dumber is the LS is at eye level with me... Hehe .."Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." - Marcus Aurelius
