And testing new ideas. But I have a general question: have any of
you wizards who run your own domains or otherwise use a switch [or
hub] *ever* had it just-quit?! It is solid-state. Yes, the box is
within my feet/foot reach. I have accidently kicked it i suppose,
but still.
I think I've just had ports die one by one on a switch until it no longer
worked. I don't think I've ever had the whole thing go poof for no
evident reason.
Ditto. Most recently a Cisco switch had a rather useful port go into a
really weird state that didn't really look broken but bits
just...weren't....flowing. Took a while, and a lot of poking at the
server in question, before we looked at each other and said, "Wait,
we've been assuming the switch works, what if it isn't."
BTW, Gary, Linksys=Cisco is pretty much just a marketing thing and not a
technology thing.
