You know youve been studying too much cisco when.....

Taking my ICND1 next monday and ive been studyin really hard.... Was playing destiny this weekend on the xbox and a computer voice says something like "remote hub failure, routing offline" and my mind thinks a hub is a layer 1 device and would not affect layer 3 operation except at the remote location

I do this a lot,generally with films. I think my best example is in Skyfall when the new Q plugs Silva's laptop into the network and I actually said "F**king Idiot, don't plug it into your network"

haha totally.

I drive down the freeway thinking everyone is packets, and when a accident happens some SOB was on a half duplex link, or whatver it might be. Total nerd thoughts, i love it

LOL. I love the traffic example as a way to think about network collisions.

Oh my God, I thought I was the only one. Each exit is an interface to the next hop address. My house is the source IP address and where I'm going to is my destination address. The payload is me and my debit card/cash. Thanks to you I will see an accident and think collision. I also see traffic jams as bottlenecks LOL

Oh, and I have had occasional SYN ACK transactions where I forget something while I'm where I need to be, so I have to turn around and run back home. Technically it would be an incomplete 3 way handshake. My wife is still at home and there are days where my protocol is either TCP or UDP.

^^^ hahahaha i never thought of it that in depth but that is awesome!

Ha ha ha brilliant, glad there are other freaks like me about!

Nerd alert lol.

This really takes me back to my CCNA. When people said certain words it made me to think about Cisco:

address - ip address
route - static/dynamic, routing protocols
neighbor - BGP

Even now the word trunk will make me think of the connection between switches.

It helps to think about it this way though, in all honesty, and makes it very fun to add this kind of element to it.

In the book "Microserfs", one of the computer programmers is obsessed with highway almanacs and the logic choices of driving from point A to point B.

Whenever I go out and I see a Cisco product, i'm like "I like this company". Using Cisco VoIP machines, Cisco WAPS? You da best.

I have to use analogies, like most of us, in day to day correspondence with customers/execs. I find that anything can be related to IT, if enough thought is put into it. I really like this video...

Whenever I go to Pizza Hut or some other business, I always check if they have a Cisco phone, and if so, what model haha!

I dream networking. Not always good dreams, I have dreams where I can't solve a networking problem and I wake up upset over it. To the point where I am grumpy all day over it. When this starts happening I back off studies for a bit and relax some.
