Cisco Memes

That moment when you realize the "Protective Boot" isn't some fancy security feature but just the plastic cap on your Ethernet cable. Spent 30 minutes googling how to configure it in Cisco IOS only to discover it's literally just keeping dust out of your connector. Network engineers with CompTIA certs sweating nervously right now.

Kid: "Dad, can I get a Switch for Christmas?" Dad, who's been configuring Cisco routers since the 90s: "Say no more!" The crushing disappointment on that kid's face is what happens when you don't use proper technical specifications in a house full of nerds. Nintendo? Ethernet? Who knows! Next time he'll submit a detailed product requirements document with model numbers and hyperlinks. That's how you learn to communicate with engineers in the wild.
