that router is trying to make your job useless

KILL IT NOW !!!

1/14/2003 10:37:55 AM

tww server has been up for 100 days. the only reason not 2x longer is because of the damn isp!

1/14/2003 10:48:43 AM

Symptom: Too much uptime.

Solution: Upgrade IOS and reload

1/14/2003 10:52:08 AM

Was 10.3 really out 5 years ago?



Wow, I'm getting old. I learned on 10.2.

What was the customer's problem?

this proves the point that cisco routers work and work well until someone fucks them up.

9/6/2005 12:14:19 PM

Heh, it's good to hear that sentiment from the outside.

Being that I only see the broken shit, I wonder how we're still on top.

but then again, i never talk to the 99% of our customers who don't need to call us.

9/6/2005 12:24:57 PM

more like crazy thread uptime

9/6/2005 12:29:03 PM

more like crazy mod uptime

9/6/2005 12:54:26 PM

I used my magic bttt stick.

9/6/2005 12:59:54 PM

I have seen CISCO routers being configured from up close...I was at India's biggest ISP during December 1999. The Y2K preparations kept many people up.

9/6/2005 1:53:37 PM

...

o-k

9/6/2005 1:55:31 PM

9/6/2005 2:02:02 PM

ahahahaha gargs is telling that shit like a war story

You think you've seen crunch time? You haven't seen crunch time. I was there. I was logged into the domain when it all started.

I need someone to bother.

9/6/2005 8:28:46 PM

I think I should have said that I have configured a couple routers myself

of course, under guidance.

9/6/2005 8:40:27 PM

there are probably 50 people on here that have, not under guidance. I'd bet there are 10-15 that do it everyday. that's like going to the garage and bragging about changing your own oil, it's just fucking stupid.

9/7/2005 12:39:27 AM

I'd bet that not many people did it while they were sophomores in college

and that too at some country's biggest ISP


but flame away

Hey Frosh, run a grammar check here, buddy, too

9/7/2005 12:41:55 AM

Just have to say, that cookie looks really fucking good.

9/7/2005 1:43:52 AM

i was configuring production routers, not under guidance, in high school..

9/7/2005 1:47:01 AM

I fully intended to come into this thread talking shit about anything less than a year being weak...but I gotta say, 5.5 years is pretty serious... isn't it about time for them to upgrade that hardware, even?

9/7/2005 4:42:54 AM

GARGS EXACTLY WHAT THE FUCK DOES ANYTHING YOU'VE SAID IN THIS THREAD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE THREAD? PLEASE FUCKING TELL ME.

9/7/2005 8:33:45 AM

I say this whole thread is/was doomed after the first 3 posts.

9/7/2005 8:48:08 AM

YOUR LIFE WAS DOOMED AFTER THE FIRST 3 SECONDS

OF CONCEPTION

9/7/2005 9:26:15 AM

I'd say I am doing fine.

What about you?

How long have you been BALD?

9/7/2005 9:30:16 AM

not as long as you've smelled like curry

9/7/2005 9:34:11 AM

you guys are proving my point.

9/7/2005 9:34:53 AM

you have no point

That's over 6.5 years.

10/2/2006 1:21:01 PM

just to be clear, is this uptime powered on, running, without reboot uptime?

10/2/2006 1:56:13 PM

yep

10/2/2006 2:07:11 PM

10/2/2006 3:24:46 PM

I had another one today... 3 years + on a provider edge router... pretty good considering its facing possible ddos and everything else.

This is nothing out of the ordinary.

10/3/2006 11:09:27 AM

Oh, but it is, only because most companies perform scheduled software upgrades on a semi-regular basis, and would certainly upgrade hardware in 5 years.

10/3/2006 11:15:27 AM

Ive seen a plethora of cases like this tho, so once again this is nothing out of the ordinary.

Wrong once again. That statement has so many fallacies in it, I don't know where to begin.
