My 14 yo would be stoked. He’s right into networking tech. Doesn’t really care about Nintendo.

I wish I was into networking at 14, I’d be making more money now. That’s a great start he’s got
blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 10 months ago
We were all into networking when I was young. Had to make Lan parties and UT servers work somehow.
Everyone still ended up working factory / distribution jobs lol.
kattenluik@feddit.nl 10 months ago
Not everything needs to be about making money, just reminding you that that’s pretty vile.
Lophostemon@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Me too, but it didn’t really exist when I was 14.
satans_crackpipe@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I would be pissed if I got a 10/100 catalyst switch too.
rem26_art@kbin.social 10 months ago
theres a chance that thing cost more than a Nintendo Switch
sebinspace@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Pretty damn good chance tbh. I know I can’t afford that thing.
rwhitisissle@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Hmm…that one’s probably around 150 gently used.
nobleshift@lemmy.world 10 months ago
1st thing son, is where going to have teach you how use the Yost and then upgrade the firmware …
Whadeamean you don’t know what a serial port is?
Stop crying …
JustUseMint@lemmy.world 10 months ago
No you can’t use the web GUI you fucking baby you’re going to learn IOS like a REAL man! No not the apple one! Cisco had it first anyway!!!
afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 10 months ago
My field still has a lot of serial. I don’t know at this point how many serial connectors I have made by hand that are out there and I have only a vague idea how any given one works.
EatYouWell@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Only 2x SFP cages? I’d be pissed too. And I bet they’re only 1gbps
originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 10 months ago
looks like an early cisco 3400
10/100, so youre prolly on the money there

Alright now hook that shit up to the router, don’t forget to create a LAG or you’ll create a broadcast storm, and I’m in a WoW raid in ten minutes so make it fast.
MadhuGururajan@programming.dev 10 months ago
Are you just throwing networking terms together? How does a LAG prevent a switching loop?
InEnduringGrowStrong@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
LAG are aggregated interfaces and they can indeed be used to prevent (some) layer 2 loops. LAG as in Link Aggregation Group)
Using 2 non-LAG interfaces between the same 2 devices creates a loop.
In the case of a loop, if you’re running spanning tree, one of these interface will be blocking instead of forwarding, preventing the loop, but also percentile the use of this interface until the topology changes (ie: the current one goes down).
If you’re not running spanning tree for some reason, then both interface will chug along, oblivious to the fact that there’s a loop and broadcast packets will indeed keep being flooded on one and received on the other, again flooded, etc. creating a broadcast storm and impacting performance of the whole layer 2 domain and possibly even crashing devices.A LAG more or less means the interfaces in the group behave as one big (aggregated) interface.
LAG also means you can push traffic on both interfaces for more bandwidth.Source:
Network engineerInternet plumberc0mbatbag3l@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It doesn’t.
The assumption is that they’re creating a high bandwidth trunk interface to the router, so if they forget to create an aggregate it’ll be two independent interfaces and will down the network (or a port will auto down itself with STP, MSTP, etc. but that’s not as funny)
iwasgodonce@lemmy.world 10 months ago
DS-lite switch n(at)64
what networking term will they use for the next one? ndp?

Guy’s thoughts: “I asked for a switch, but I got a router!”
hperrin@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Better than a light switch.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
What about a heavy switch?
MeanEYE@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Had I gotten this, I’d be ecstatic. Networking was always a mystery to me and I loved playing with networking services.
mvirts@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Lol I would’ve been pumped if I got this as a kid

i got a cat toy one year instead of a computer mouse. my mom thought it was hilarious.
Fleamo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I asked for a switch and all I got was a vers.

Teach him to use it and send him down the path of one of the most frustrating career paths in existence...
Developer: Hey, I think the network is broken
Network Engineer: Okay, lemme check 30 seconds later nope, looking good, what's up?
Developer: There's a network issue, I ran this new code and lost everything.
NE: That's... not really how the network works...
Dev: I'm a Developer, I know how the network works.
NE: Really...? Do you know how servers work?
Dev: Yes, of course. ..
NE: Then why didn't you look that your code crashed the VM you were using and you need to restart it...
Dev: ...so it was a network issue?
NE: ...
Dev: to other Devs Hey guys, don't worry, it was a network issue, but I got them to do their job for once and fix it.
NE: resumes recreational liver destruction
qjkxbmwvz@lemmy.sdf.org 10 months ago
After setting up my own network, and trying to (kinda sorta) do it the right way (multiple SSIDs, vlan segregation, restrictive firewalls for iot, VPN to a VPS, etc.) — I have so much respect for network engineers. First month with my new router, felt like I “broke the Internet” every other day.
BleatingZombie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
As a developer, we’re not ALL like that
RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
As a developer who knows enough about networking and servers to know when I’m out of my depth, I’m sorry for my colleague. If it’s any consolation we all think they are an idiot as well
Crow@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Networking has to be the most confusing and tedious IT work I’ve ever done. I still don’t fully understand all the basics of security. But by far the worst part is that troubleshooting can’t be done like normal programming. Network troubleshooting takes forever, and all you get is a working network. Network work feels so dull even I have a hard time seeing my effort.
jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
No kidding. There’s no debugger. You can’t just set a breakpoint and see what’s going on under the hood. It’s more like playing Russian roulette and hoping you don’t bring the whole network down.
It’s messing with the wiring while it’s still hot and there often isn’t a better way to do it.
geekworking@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Or he could go it operations where every day is “a bad day to stop sniffing glue” because you are the only thing keeping the house of cards up while dev and network squabble over who’s foot cannon broke shit this time.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Those last couple of steps actually involve a shotgun and condolences to the devs family. Take no shit.
