Holy shit, this Dell PowerConnect stuff sucks. Never, EVER buy this shit.
Its some kind of bastardized version of a Cisco switch.
How it got into the Data Center, I will never know. Idiots at CDW I'm guessing.
I've had it with these pesky and unnecessarily weird devices.
NEVer again!!!
(I found out today that they disabled STP because there was a bug in the Dell firmware a while back. YA! Lets disable it, nevermind updating the firmware or actually getting industry-standard production hardware..)
