It's the old undocumented, monkey-business infrastructure that make us pluck our eyebrows out! 2 years ago we had an Internet outage. We called the ISP & they say everything is fine from their end... after jumping around like rabid rabbits on steroids for 1.5 hours we found a stinky old D-Link 5-port switch hidden inside some cabinet between filthy old cables. This crap switch served as a simple joint because the cable was short.......... Too many stories to list... that was a quick sample... Allah y3eenkom! But I'll tell you know, workarounds will come around and bite you in the butt when you least expect!!! We had no issues with new equipment & implementations.

That sounds like a nightmare!! I would be going nuts too! Any major project we did in an existing infrastructure always took between 1-3 months for implementation and commissioning!!! Alah esa3dich!
