We just took delivery of a new Avaya 2500 48-port switch, that has 24 PoE ports. The problem is that all the PoE ports are on the left-hand size of the switch, and our PoE device cables can only reach the right-hand side of the switch (we're upgrading from an old switch to a new one, and the old one had them on the right-hand side. This is the problem with doing neat cabling).

Can I just mount the switch upside down? This would move the left-hand ports to the right-hand side and problem solved.

My largest concern is that airflow or cooling might not work, but I can't see any visible breathing holes in the bottom or top of the switch which leads me to believe it will be OK, but better safe than sorry.

I setup an Ubuntu guest on a CentOS KVM host with initially 6GB of disk space. How do I go about increasing the Ubuntu guest's disk space from the command line?

EDIT #1: I'm using a disk image file (qemu).

This is what I'm doing:

mysql --host=localhost --port=9999 mysql -u root -p --execute="show tables;"

The command works (connecting to port 3306) no matter what I provide in --port argument. I have two mysql servers running on one machine, and want to connect to the second one by explicitly providing its port number. What's going on? Why does mysql ignore this parameter?

What is the command to sync a Windows workstation or server to its configured time source?

Windows Vista added the ability to create symbolic links to files and directories. How do I create a symbolic link and what are the current consumer and server versions of Windows that support it?
