Geek-Fun
Interested in some "Geek-Fun"? My instructor gave us a suggestion of something to do this weekend if bored...
1. Take 2 linksys routers (or whatever brand you prefer)
2. Take a crossover cable and connect port 1 of Router 1 to Port 1 of Router 2.
3. Take a 2nd crossover cable and connect port 2 of router 1 to port 2 or router 2.
4. Connect a PC to port 3 of router 1 or 2.
5. Send a ping from PC, and watch (w/ a protocol analyzer) the broadcast storm take down ports 1 and 2.
Don't know exactly why I found that so amusing...guess I must be getting tired...
(Can you tell we're covering STP?) heheheh
