@_sysengineer When I was a kid, a switch meant a thin limb from a hickory tree that was used to light my backside on fire…..
@_sysengineer No no no. He wants one of these.
@_sysengineer Next, he'll just want the power cord. By next christmas, you'll have a whole 12u rack sitting in the living room with his gaming consoles in it 😂
@_sysengineer Ungrateful kid 😂. That is a managed switch, and not a dumb switch. Supports network segregation and all sorts of cool stuff. if it's 10gig i will take it off his hands and give him a nintendo
@_sysengineer Hope it's at least gigabit
@_sysengineer The expression tells me he'd prefer a router instead..
@_sysengineer Future CISO, but only if he learns about the real IOS at that age.
@_sysengineer Or a laptop for Christmas 🎄 🤣🤣🤣
@_sysengineer Cisco ME3400. I'd call child services...
@_sysengineer He should have been more precise “… I want a NINTENDO SWITCH for xmas”.
@_sysengineer Angsty tween: Cheap ass parents probably got this at a GSA auction. Not even PoE.
@_sysengineer I'd be happy with a boring network switch lol
@_sysengineer Network Engineer jokes are the best. 🤣🤣🤣
@_sysengineer So bad.... Seriously bad joke 😉🤭😜
@_sysengineer That most likely being a @Cisco switch, it will keep his devices connected well into his college years! 🤣
@_sysengineer At least it wasn't one of these. Just like the guy in the story of this picture, me, my brother, and cousins had to find switches we'd get whipped with when we misbehaved.
@_sysengineer i'd be stoked if that was a 10gb switch with RJ-45's
@_sysengineer When my mom used to threaten me with s switch that was NOT what she was referring to
@_sysengineer If he didn’t prefix it with Nintendo 🤷♂️ 🥳
@_sysengineer "Oh frick yeah I can't wait to hook this up to my Knoppix box!"
@_sysengineer Just tell him it's a managed Layer 3 Switch and he will cheer up.
@_sysengineer My daughter would just beat me with it. She still tries to say “hey siri” to the Alexa echo and it burns my soul every time
