My worst rack experience was at an office I did IT in, the networking closet had 3 racks and like 20 switches/routers, each one with almost all the ports in use.
There. Was. No. Cable. Management. None...
Everytime someone changed something over the years, they would grab the nearest cable and connect it however they wanted.
You literally had to craw between cables and follow them with your hand from one port to the other as there was no other way to find what went where.
I'm talking 10-15 minutes to switch a cable from two switches on the same rack.
I once spent 2 hours mapping out where 1(!) endpoint was connected because the cable died (they were all basically trash) and there was no mapping so I had to use a line tracer (tone generator)
Usually if they're all managed switches, you can look at the MAC table and map things out that way.
Yeah, but not if the cable died and the port has been down for long enough that the last MAC was already cleared and there is no historic logs 🙃
