I did this a work one time… sorta the same thing. I installed pfsense VM and left the DHCp server on. I killed the network in our office for about 15 minutes.
Comment on Student dorm does not allow wifi routers
amanda@aggregatet.org 2 months agoI was once responsible for a student house (we don’t have dorms in the US sense, this is the closest we have) and I have similar experiences but less extreme. My favourite was when I had forgot to configure DHCP filtering and someone plugged in a router the wrong way so it started offering DHCP (that didn’t work) to everyone in the building, in a race with our upstream ISP.

Also, the times rats got into the networking room and ate random cables. I should add the network was built by volunteer students in the ‘90s.
