Network Security Blunders

摘要

We've all made one in our career, I'm talking about that blunder you thought you would be fired for. My first blunder was rebooting all the campus router pairs at one time, not one by one, all at once. I had written a script to install a security update on all the routers and reboot them all one by one, I thought. Turns out my script had an error and didn't wait between routers. I thought for sure I was fired, turns out it was a great learning experience for everyone involved. We all learned a little about crisis management, I was introduced to change management, and my boss took a few hours to teach me how to verify the network was working properly as everything came back up online.
