Doing vs Thinking

[Rodgera]

As a network administrator, I get annoyed with requests to open a set
number of ports on a firewall when the numbers don't match.

For example:
Please open the following 10 ports: 49120-49130.

I respond - Do you want:
A. Eleven ports - 49120-49130
B. Ten ports - 49120-49129
C. Ten ports - 49121-49130
For the moment you're getting:
D. None of the above.

D is a pretty stock answer around here.:D

The best answer would be

"I don't Know How to do THAT" :D

Rodgera,

the only ports these guys know is that ones that come out of a bottle..

[arose62]

E: do you mean "I/O" ports
F: are you counting in binary, and those are the two ports you want open.

Cheers,
Andrew

This is my usual response to such requests...
