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”
“Dad’s laughing, but I’m pretty sure this thing costs way more than a Nintendo Switch. Now where can I sell it…?”
I literally asked for a network switch for my birthday a few days ago. Although it’s a 16x sfp+ switch for my home fiber rollout.
I didn’t get it because it didn’t go on sale and I told my mom not to. Although I suspect she didn’t listen to me and got it for Christmas (it’s impossible to tell her not to get a present she knows you want, and also to not spend the budget she set aside).
Dude are u running a data center in ur basement or what lol
So, now you’re waiting till Christmas? Or, will you end up with two of them?
This is getting out of hand!
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 said I wanted Switch 2!”
“Switch 2? What’s wrong with the first one I gave you?”
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.
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.
That switch predates the switch by quite a while
I’m doing NetworkChuck’s Summer of CCNA. I know what a switch is now :)
bruh
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
Are you sure this isn’t a scene from a porno?
Yep , that’s what I meant :)
Wtf.
