Rare project developers

[Marcos Felipe Schwarz <>]

Hi Alex,

We are using the switch for tests on a internal project. But I reserved the 
equipment for you this Thursday and Friday (06-07/04) from 00:00 to 12:00 BRT 
(05:00 to 17:00 GMT+2).
I'm asking the local team to connect a port between 1-16 to port eno2 from 
the server that you access for the USB-console connection (192.168.110.12).

Regards,

Marcos Schwarz

Hi Marcos

I'd like to finish the work on the BSP for 9.11. If you can spare your box 
one more time for a day, I hope to be able to finish it this time
:) If you can connect some of the gearbox ports (i.e. ports 1-16) I could 
test our code more thoroughly (port status, counters etc.).

Regards,
Alex
