I'm fairly sure if you created an IP address conflict with the management interface on an SG500 switch it would eat up increasing amounts of CPU until it started to affect the switching part of the product.

I do a lot of DOCSIS work so we have a ton of CMTSs, split between a few vendors. We'll have 3-4 Cisco card failures a month, and 2-3 everything else failures per day. We're about half Cisco and half everything else which is pretty convenient.

The flip side of that is that every time there's a Cisco failover, something breaks. Every. loving. Time. Doesn't matter how well you check, there's usually some random multicast group or something that dropped. We have an ever growing confluence page full of obscure bugs and at this point my team is better at troubleshooting them than Cisco TAC is. The other vendors? Nothing. Always graceful.

I don't think SA ever made a CMTS. But unlike the Nexus line (which Cisco bought from another company), they run the actual Cisco IOS so the non DOCSIS stuff is familiar. Technically it's IOS XR but it lacks most of the XR features that makes XR so good.

Though we've been using Cisco CMTSs for as long as I remember, way before the SA purchase. The previous CMTS model from Cisco was a loving garbage fire though and I have nothing nice to say about them.

Can confirm, and this behavior goes back to their Linksys heritage. Back when I started in VoIP we used SRW224P and SRW224G4P switches as our default choice for 100mbit PoE installs and ran in to this regularly because the drat things also defaulted to a hardcoded IP configuration (192.168.1.254 IIRC). You could deploy one mindlessly, then some time down the road another one gets added and it still works just fine immediately, but some weeks to months down the line everything starts flaking out.

Dealing with that was one of the things that made me an adamant supporter of DHCP reservations instead of hardcoded IPs. Nothing but the DHCP server and things necessary for DHCP to work should have a hardcoded IP.

I have a screenshot of it on some old backup somewhere, but his last message to me like 3 months later was just "gently caress you"

I responded "you tried to, remember? that's what got you into this mess" and blocked him as soon as I saw the read receipt.

Hey Cisco switches are great while they're working.

Once they stop working though, not even god can save you.

We just finished a network overhaul, replaced some 10-20 year old cisco switches, still running, in a filthy factory setting where any surface has a healthy coat of plastic dust, surviving tons of reboots/power outages.
My experience with them has been absolutely solid.

Many running old rear end firmware too.
