Network Monitoring via Christmas Lights

[Ptro001]

that is probably the best idea ever =D

[Meduzi]

I like cheese! Thumbs up if you do too!

[happygamestvfun1]

I thought severs were run by software Operating systems, not human administartors...

[toothycardus]

love the idea might give this ago in the office

[nadiritus]

Ahahahaa good idea)))

[coldironhands1]

what is that plug for?

[muhkuh2005]

it's the connector for the fiber glass

[coldironhands1]

[xlsn1perlx]

Fiber optic.

[Dillinger128]

that plug is known as a GBIC or gigabit interface converter... he was showing an example of when a uplink is severed the xmas lights went from white to red to indicate interface was in alarm.

[SecretMisery]

This really, made my evning:D

[TheYouSphere]

Yeah, as did when the lights went on at 3am, that too made my evening...

Haha for some reason that is far more amusing than it should be.

=D

[danielstamatov]

BTW, all ports on the switch with the removed uplink are empty :D

UR Monitoring system is malfunctioning ;)

[jgaynor]

We networking guys are selfish jerks. We care more about the status of the switches management IP than any0 servers that may be attached to it :).

[danielstamatov]

True :)

[PottledBenis]

;) yes

[lygonDOTnet]

@jgaynor The network is never the problem, those servers and their traffic are? :P

[stigchr]

My users won't wait 5 minuts, before calling if a fiber is down ;-)

Nice video

[jennotechnic]

This is sad, however it is damn true.

My boss already ask me why we take that long to response and why the user reaction always quicker than our NMS.

[Ichinin]

LOL - BOFH video :o)

[inmyhumbleopinion]

wow - pulling one of those out of a cisco device is risking a major explosion, try Juniper.

[saudbs]
