Re: Racked Moved to Garage no access yet

Guys,

Here is what I did about an hour ago. I took an old WRT54GS that I had
stuffed in a box of junk and flashed the firmware with DD-WRT image. Client
bridged the router, plugged it in the wall of the garage, and then I plugged
my 2511AS, APC power and UPS mgmt.

Now I have to go cable up for Narbik's WB again :)

This works like a champ!!

Thanks guys for the ideas,
