I went home after work this morning to do stuff to my sister’s computer and to show a switch who’s boss. So I went home and flashed the firmware on a 24-port 3Com switch. Almost fubared the damn thing after realizing that for a while it could not find the tftp server, or could it. Well, anyway I finally got it to flash. Hmm, did it really flash the firmware? Meh, I don’t care anymore. It works. I still need to configure the thing though. I think spring break will be the time that I reconfigure a lot of things. I did some stuff to my sisters computer that isn’t worth mentioning, then I went back to Rutgers since I had to continue with the continual training of a certian pupal. SERC lead to the DSV lab where the wonders of C++ programming showed it ugly head… and body… and butt. Err, I was then forcfully made to help with Maple. After that short experience, wandered back the apartment, stumbled across someone, then headed up the stairs, trying to avoid the rowdy neighbors.
Wow, I have a calc test tomorrow and I haven’t even started to study. I’m guessing cramming tomorrow and lots of praying… then kicking my ass to actually work from then on (which won’t happen).
Sounds like another great day from Eric Rivas.
Firmware on a switch? That’s crazy talk.
wooooooooooo take it off
This is a managed switch, you actually have a serila console post on it and can do stuff like disable ports and such. This is not your home hub I’m taking about.
