Well found this song on hardware.localhost.nl. It’s geeky but still fun to listen to.
Here are the lyrics for the song.
GigFlapping
Packets dropping…
Console locking…
Boss is knocking…
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
and the router’s in disarray
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
Now I think it’s time to RMA
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
and they’re never going to be the same
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
gotta find an SE to blame
Pinging with no reply
Pinging with no reply
You got your STM
over 1310
You got your SRP
which is DPT
You got your Sonet Rings connected via DPT
You got your OC3’s to your ISP
Oh, fiber cut, ports are shut, man this sucks
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
and the router’s in disarray
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
Now I think it’s time to RMA
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
and they’re never going to be the same
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
gotta find an SE to blame
Pinging with no reply
Pinging with no reply
You got your Single Mode
you got your Multimode
you got your GBICs
and your new ASICs
You had a fiber cut and your service dipped
and it’s all running through the same conduit
Oh, field notice, please help us, failed bus
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
and the router’s in disarray
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
Now I think it’s time to RMA
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
and they’re never going to be the same
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again
gotta find an SE to blame
[PAUSE - Ad Lib sayings ]
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again (packets dropping)
and the router’s in disarray (console locking)
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again (boss is knocking)
Now I think it’s time to RMA
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again (pinging with no reply)
and they’re never going to be the same (pinging with no reply)
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again (pinging with no reply)
damaging the passive backplane (pinging with no reply)
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again (packets dropping)
and the router’s in disarray (console locking)
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again (boss is knocking)
Now I think it’s time to RMA
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again (pinging with no reply)
and they’re never going to be the same (pinging with no reply)
GigE ports down, wait, now they’re up again (pinging with no reply)
damaging the passive backplane (pinging with no reply)

You got your Appletalk

and your 10 Base T
You got your cable modem ranging on the upstream
and the 10k covered with black coffee
You have dual fiber runs for redundancy
