Ok so /someone/ mixed up some of the cables on a new install using a RB750. Before driving and climbing (gotta walk about a mile to reach the site) is there any reason not to just swap the ether-gateway and ether-master roles on the switch? I know some are hard wired to work better with specific

People are on the way to fix it. It was configured on the bench and should have been installed as such but one of the people on site mis-labeled the west side cables (1 2) and thus we end up here. The site is not live but will be shortly, so its better to just go back and fix it now. This site
