Well today we finally finished installing switches and patching them through on the patch panel. We ran into some issues bringing up the switches and then bringing up the building. The problems with the links between the switches were just fiber mismatches. When this happens the send and receive strands of the fiber have gotten crossed so that it is trying to send information on the receive strand and receive information on the send strand. Flipping the links corrects this issue. The link between the core router and the building is a 10GB Redundant fiber link. There were some issues with the configuration of the core router and the switches on the other end of that link.
