Lan port tester

[ryan1835]

Ive been getting dragged into port scheduling at work lately and i was wondering if theres a tool i can plug into one of these



to see if the port is connected to the switches at the other end in the comms room ?

because at the moment ive been trying them all with my laptop and an ethernet cable!

surely there is a better way?
