Cisco restores evidence of its funniest FAIL – ethernet cable presses switch's reset button

WTF?

Why is this even worth an article

Okay, it is Monday, which probably means my brain is functioning at no more than 10% of normal, but this seems like an extremely trivial article. Cisco had a bug report from 2013 with an accompanying image showing the problem. The link to the image was broken, so Cisco updated the bug report to fix the link. Good for Cisco.

I have been building a new computer and swapping parts between several others the last two weeks, and I have run into several issues where there were published how-to's on the manufacturer's website but the accompanying images, videos. or linked articles were broken (404's). HP seemed to be particularly bad about this if the original how-to was over 3 years old. I would have greatly appreciated them actually keeping their website links current. So again, kudos to Cisco for not abandoning their customer support after 7 years.
