I can't really get into my parents attic rn to grab a photo, but very similar install. I've had a Netgear* switch running up there non-stop since roughly 2000!

I've had a Netgear* switch running up there non-stop since roughly 2000! Have never had to reboot it. Granted, power outages have rebooted it, and I have no way of actually checking its up-time.
*Those were the days when Netgear products were solid
- accrual 3y agoThat's pretty cool. Is it a managed switch? I feel unmanaged switches have an advantage for being relatively simple with no user facing config or startup/backup images. They're basically just an ASIC with supporting hardware to look up numbers in a table and transmit out the resulting port - it could last decades.
- elromulous 3y agoExactly - it's unmanaged. So more like an actual "appliance".
