WTF Cisco? Who in their right mind numbers switch ports from left to right in two rows?

And for their next trick on this switch: The web UI names the ports GE1, GE2, … while the console names the ports gi1, gi2, …

😞

Oh boy - even more confusing. Status commands report the ports with the “gi” prefix, but interface configuration commands will accept either “gi” or “ge”. 🤷‍♂️

And for my final note about this switch: show running-configuration does not show the running-configuration. I'm not sure what previous revision it's showing, but it’s not the running-configuration. All the other show commands do show what the switch is actually configured to do, but neither running-configuration or saved-configuration have any basis in reality.

If you want a big PoE switch buy a Netgear people and stay far away from this horror. (I just checked and the ports on the M4350-48G4XF are numbered correctly)

@ricardo Yeah - it's been a day. And after all of that the upstream provider that was supposed to provide an additional local subnet never came through so I don't even know if the configuration I set up works or not. 🙁
