      I had an issue and had to power cycle everything in my rack. At first, I thought there was a failure in the web interface only, as I had SSH access and I had Internet access. After digging around, I was looking through my current config file and found that the web interface was using an obscure port I had tried several years ago. I changed it back to the standard HTTPS port (443) and was able to log in again. This is when I realized that I was using a VERY old configuration... one that is several YEARS old! I thought I had some type of service that was saving my configuration to a cloud location any time a change was made automatically. I don't recall how this was set up or how to get my last configuration, but I need to roll this back a day. While at least I have Internet access, I don't look forward to making hundreds of changes to try to bring things back to the way they were. My memory is hazy on the auto-save of my backups... any ideas what I may have used? I have been scouring my laptop for any backups and not having any luck.
