If you misconfigure a server in such a way that it causes spanning tree conflicts that cascade across the network and take down corporate email, phones, our website and everything else in the same datacenter... once it's a learning experience. Twice and I'm disabling your sudo permissions...
Especially I have to drive to the datacenter to physically unplug the box because of your oops...
@wobblewuffess I gotta ask...Was it the same oops twice in the same place or two different oopses with the same result.
@Zaiaku Different oops of a similar variety that caused the same resort.. virtual NIC bridging physical nics on the same box led to some really weird cascading spanning tree issues.
I suspect the person responsible knows what they want to do.. but not now to do it... and is being stubborn about consulting our neteng team.
It doesn't help that this box is in a special snow flake datacenter with really weird networking compared to our other 12 sites.
@wobblewuffess Ouch. Yep, revoke sudo permissions until they learn to seek help after the first incident.
@Zaiaku result... lol thank you autocorrect.
Either way it's twice I've had to drive to that site and physically disconnect the box because when it happened we lost access to everything there.
