Dear old Dad is in IT, and he explains that this is a lot more expensive than a nintendo switch.
Only the “license”, hardware is cheap

“Dad’s laughing, but I’m about to host the most epic LAN party of my life”
“I said I wanted Switch 2!”
“Switch 2? What’s wrong with the first one I gave you?”
I have a couple of 8-port Gigabit Netgear switches that have been working perfectly for about 15 years, now.
I sort-of forget about them. They just work. It’s nice.
I’m doing NetworkChuck’s Summer of CCNA. I know what a switch is now :)
At least your dad is not black.
This comment confused me until I remembered that Community scene.
Failed to load media 😢
Edit: it works now, but what the actual copulation is thatI guess I should provide context for people who haven’t watched Community, lol
Yep , that’s what I meant :)
Wtf.
At least it’s a proper Cisco one and not those shitty Linksys/SG ones.
Shitty Linksys, a Cisco brand you mean?
Also, Cisco’s list of absolute bonkers vulnerabilities is not a good sign tbh.They sold Linksys to Belkin ages ago and rebranded the stuff they kept as SG.
TBF even though they have a significant number of vulns, they are at least open about handling them unlike other vendors.
So you’re going to fix the vulnerabilities, right?
…
…right?
Unfortunately it’s a Cisco one, so there’s probably recurring support costs tied to it.
Got to teach them about support contracts now otherwise Pal Alto will gouge them with their credits system.
