[tech] Olive (Cisco 2900) decomissioned

[David Adam]

Because the best time to make core network changes is clearly when the 
network is in heavy use, I used the Charity Vigil to finally decomission 
Olive, our Cisco 2900, which has served as one of the core switches for a 
good length of time.

In the process I discovered that Lorenzo's Fa0/48 is dead, and the LEDs 
on the entire fourth FastEthernet module are broken. Exciting times.

Still, this reduces the bottlenecks in the UCC network so that all 
100-megabit ports are sharing a 1-gigabit inter-switch trunk, rather than 
some being limited to sharing another 100meg.
