Ghost ports (lemmy.world)

In the middle of a live VLAN readressing of a 200-node company, I encountered this gem. The ports just kept blinking on even after plugging out the cables. (HP aruba 24 port switch)

One turned off after a reboot.

Those are just designating which port is where. Each port usually has its own lights.
