Well, I can get the two switches talking and get over that initial hump, I can work here at home and resolve the issue testing things here without the worry of having those two switches in a half state. Thank you for the help and guidance. I will try all of the above.
I still need to figure out how to get to a CLI in that unit. I see references to it but still have had no luck, all I see is a SSH client in the switch, my concept is the client in this case is the connecting device connects to the server end and gets the prompt from it. I have tried to set it up but when I do so and try to ssh into the device I get a reject. So there are two items left to whack out, big one is working at least on my home net work. Big thank you, and to all of you out west hope the rains arrive soon, though that may be another curse if it comes down too hard.
