To assist you with your rack rental experience we have added a device to allow you to reboot all the routers and switches. The routers and switches are connected to a power distribution unit which allows you to power cycle a device if it is hung as well as power them all off or on.  Be sure to save your work frequently as routers may hang - just as in the real CCIE lab exam. To access the reboot device (power) from the ccie4u terminal server follow the set of instructions below:

From the terminal server type "power" to access the power distribution unit. Type in the username and password you were supplied.  Initially all devices connected to the unit will be off.  Use these procedures to turn them on.  Once you have finished your scheduled rack rental time please turn all the devices back off using these same procedures after you have cleared the configs (write erase) - use option 5 (off) versus 4 (on) for controlling all outlets. Note: Do not use "immediate on" - option 1 under the device manager or you will cause a power outage and will not be given a makeup timeslot.
