Is this just a typo (misplaced "accidentally"?), or is there really a reason such cables shouldn't be used in datacenters?
- eridius 11y agoIt just seems like a poorly written article. Later on it says > Such a situation could cause a problem in any size datacenter, where these switches and cables are commonly used which seems to contradict the "accidentally". Similarly, this bit is ungrammatical: > It’s amazing that Cisco didn’t catch this before the device was released, let alone that the ‘fix’ for the problem which suggests using a different cable or cutting off the boot.
