I'm dealing with a guy who can't count past 2.

But he's also in charge of scoping out how many appliances we need to set up for the solution, and we need more than 2, of more than 2 varieties of boxes, in more than 2 locations.

Yep, exactly what's going on. It may soon look like this:

:shock2:

The concept of all professional services/consultants as Ricks and all customers as Mortys is an interesting thought to ponder... as is the concept of the Rickest Ricks, Mortiest Ricks, Rickest Mortys, and Mortiest Morties...

I consider myself to be a fairly strong Rickish Rick, and this customer is one of the Mortiest of Mortys out there...

Morty isn't a customer. He is the new guy that left enterprise to become a PS/consultant. Rick is his mentor. Morty only knows the one network from his old job he had for 15 years. Now he is being faced with all those other networks...

Specifically that photo is them at a customer site, and the Rick sees the look in the customers eyes. He shoves Morty in front of him to take the next question. A question about if their product supports IPX because they have a legacy Novell network that is mission critical be included. Rick avoids the pain, and Morty learns about the real world.

The only reason I got my CNE instead of my MCSE was the local community college had the MCSE classes during the weekdays and CNA/CNE classes at night. I worked so CNE it was. did 3.12 then upgraded to 4/Intranetware, then 5. Never did 6.

Best part was I passed my CNA test, and talked to job placement at the school. Couldn't figure out why they kept referring me to medical/nursing jobs.

... that's when home LANs were all NetBEUI because it was simple and there was no Internet.

Aww geez. I've had brief a brief stint doing PS/consulting and I've roamed the world dabbling in various networks. Does that mean I'm a Rickish Morty? Or a Mortyish Rick? It's a little rickdiculous to think I haven't reached at least some level of Rickdom by now.

I think I'd rather be a Rickish Morty than a Mortyish Rick...

"The new IOS's and switch IOS make Layer 2 automatic and there is nothing to worry about"

Sure but what about your root bridge, spanning-tree version, VTP and..

"No the new IOS's make it transparent.."

Ok well let me know WHEN you have problems..
