"Cisco seems to have gone down the intentionally not obvious to configure"

When you look at the ancestry of the different modules, all bodged together from various borged companies, with wildly different underlaying coding strategies and command syntax it's more understandable

It's also more understandable that "Cisco" is a rats nest of poor quality - and frequently internally incompatible - code all mashed together with questionable QC and as little care as can be justified - and then there are the INTENTIONAL backdoors to take into consideration.

I take that back. Calling it a rat's nest is unkind to rats.
