This Hilarious Cisco Fail is a Network Engineer’s Worst Nightmare

In 2013, Cisco has issued a notice of 'warning field' problem with expensive 3650 and 3850 series switches, used in many data centers around the world.

This communication field detailing a major problem with the switches found after they were released: connect a cable could end up completely in a matter of seconds.

The cables, which are sometimes accidentally used in data centers, equipped with a protective shell that rises to the top to secure the release tab is not pressed or accidentally broken, causing the cable useless.

This boot hit the reset button happened to be placed directly on a Cisco switch port, which causes the device to safely return to their factory settings.

This may cause a problem in any size data center where these switches and cables are commonly used. If someone connected a cable to a port unknowingly pressing, maybe down the entire network without even realizing it. If their switches are configured right, however, it should be only a brief blip.

 

It 's amazing that Cisco did not understand this before the device was launched, let alone that the "solution" to the problem of suggesting the use of a different cable or boot cut.

There is an easy way to prevent this from happening at all, disabling the button, but I'm sure this caught many network engineers long before they realized the problem ridiculous responsible for breaking down the entire network.
