Merry Switchmas, everyone! I love this time of year -- twinkling lights, people communicating with each other and connecting, and sharing addresses. No, I'm not talking about any holidays -- I mean networking!   In fact, I was so inspired by our MS line of enterprise-grade switches that I decided to write a song about it, to the tune of "The Twelve Days of Christmas". I'm off to a good start with the first line, but I need YOUR help to finish it up! I've got the first line written already:   "On the first day of Switchmas, spanning tree gave to me  A blocked port due to RSTP"   ...Ok, it's a work in progress. Think you can help? Respond with what you think the twelve days of Switchmas should be. We'll make it a holiday to remember! And remember to "forward" this on to all of your networking friends!   MS gnome and MV gnome were here — they've been safely returned home! ... View more
