2006, 2007 was my 1st birthday. But that's just a detail.
Also, something more to think about:
Oldest gen-alphas are currently 13.
First generation beta child will be born on 2025 (if Earth and humans survive).
It's an old joke, when a switch (or any electronics really) has 365+ day uptime rebooting could kill the power supply during its POST power supply test.
Realistically you shouldn't have to worry about it, those are solid switches. I have a 3524 from 2001 that's still running, it gets bounced about once a year when I bump the power cable while recabling. I also have a 2960G that's on a UPS, and without logging in I couldn't tell you the uptime
Hmm. I planned to upgrade it to newest available IOS for this device, 15.0.2-SE11.
What kind of bricking are we talking about here? (Permanent or fixable)
I only found this:
A Catalyst 2960 with 64Mb of DRAM might display Low memory on the console
after upgrading to 12.2(58)SE or later
Which should be fixed, and if not, I could just downgrade it back. Worst case scenario: I'll have to use xmodem instead of TFTP.
I can't remember the exact message, basically when we upgraded about 10 of ours, they wouldn't let us make any config changes past a certain point because they saw themselves as non genuine even though they are
we've recently replaced all of our switching, I'll boot one of them up once I get in and check for you (+IOS version)
Do you remember if you could get to a rommon prompt? As long as console access is available you should've been able to upload replacement FW. I once had to use kermit or xmodem (I don't recall) @2400 bps to recover an AP by transferring new FW over the console cable (I'm not sure new APs even have a console port), but switches should be recoverable...the things you do, when you want to go home and not spend another day on site 🤣
My only caution would be to ensure that you use the correct FW. IIRC -L means Lan Base not IP Services, but it should warn you that there isn't enough space, if that's the case
Anyone else's back hurt while reading this?
Sorry.
I didn't even realize people born in 2007 had consciousness yet wtf. Good on you man, enjoy your switch

These generational labels make increasingly little sense.
boomer = older than me
zoomer = younger than me
as simple as that
Gen-alphas? Wtf is that
It's when you're out of latin letters because gen-Z
Well boomers kids were gen X, because x was edgy back then. And that fucked up the whole system.
You're absolutely right, I remembered that it started before Z, but couldn't remember how far back it went
Edit: but I can totally see a conspiracy theory about humanity being less than 30 generations old arise from this naming
Get off my lawn
I was already working my first job in IT in 2007. God damn
I was a Sophomore in high school when OP was born. How is OP on the Internet?
Because OP is 17 lmao
no that can't be right, 2007 was like 5 years ago?
OP is 17
whyareyoubooingmeimright.jpg
You actually had it right before.
my brain is broken rn apparently, I had to put your birthday into an age calculator to confirm, aren’t you turning 17 in a few months?
Nope. That will be 18. By 1st birthday I meant when I was 1.
OH there we go lol
lol, there's a pretty big chance OP is probably a Sophomore in high school too
edit: probably a junior or senior actually but still pretty close
Equivalent to senior (different school system).
In Slovakia, depending on chosen field of study, it ranges from 2 to 5 years. It's 4 years for me.
I was probably a Sophomore when you were born, then.
Oh shit. How am I on the Internet?
Just this week I realized that my driver's license is so old, it's a millennial.
This post made me crumble into dust
I legitimately have bottles of wine older than you lmao
you were born on pi day!
Einstein was too.
Get off my lawn!
What do you mean by your "first" birthday?
When I was exactly 1 year old.
I'm so fuckin old dude
Only as old as you feel like.
I'm stupid :)
I was wondering if you were like born again christian or something and that you considered another importabt date as being your second birth day.
I understood it wrong, too 😅
2007, excellent year! Also, I swear Cisco those older switches are will run forever (as long as you don't reboot it too often 😂)
Could you enlighten me on that? This sounds scary.

don't update the firmware!!!!! these have a bug with their security module which essentially bricks them if you update past a certain point

Thank for the PII jk jk, but you should be more careful if that's your actual birth date
Your goofy ass better ansluta apparaten till jordat nätuttag or else
Meanwhile my power cable:
On your what?!
Network switch
Ah, you never know on this place. Weird way to share your BFs birthday with the World
wait yours is exactly one month off from mine
