An old classic, but maybe it will help put everyone in the holiday spirit. The Twelve Days of NYIIX ------------------------
On the first day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me, A BPDU from someone's spanning tree. On the second day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me, Two forwarding loops, And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree. On the third day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me, Three routing leaks, Two forwarding loops, And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree. On the fourth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me, Four Foundry crashes, Three routing leaks, Two forwarding loops, And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree. On the fifth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me, Five flapping sessions, Four Foundry crashes, Three routing leaks, Two forwarding loops, And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree. On the sixth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me, Six maintenances notices, Five flapping sessions, Four Foundry crashes, Three routing leaks, Two forwarding loops, And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree. On the seventh day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me, Seven broadcast floods, Six maintenances notices, Five flapping sessions, Four Foundry crashes, Three routing leaks, Two forwarding loops, And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree. On the eighth day of Christmas, NYIIX gave to me, Eight defaulting peers, Seven broadcast floods, Six maintenances notices, Five flapping sessions, Four Foundry crashes, Three routing leaks, Two forwarding loops, And a BPDU from someone's spanning tree.
