On Call Just one more day to go – the weekend is creeping into a view. Unless, of course, you’re one of those brave souls cursed to be forever On Call.
It seems an awful lot of you have had a run in with Cisco hardware at one time or another. The company is, after all, almost a byword for networking infrastructure and some interesting approaches to licensing.
“Will” (not his name) was no exception and one day was called to exercise his Cisco skills. “Do you,” went the question, “know how to do a ‘show tech’ in a Cisco router?”
We’re pretty sure this was a reference to the show tech-support command which spits out information on the features of the relevant box. Unfiltered, it tends to be rather verbose and so its output is best redirected to a file for later perusal.
Will had spent a good few years at the Cisco coalface and so, of course, he knew about this…
