Someone was able to program Unify switch port LED’s to play snake. This would make switch installs a lot more fun. 😂

This is one of my favorite Cisco commands that has saved me so much time. You can remotely test an ethernet cable to see if there is a physical issue with it or not. Saving myself having to go on-site and check the cable manually.
