Would the switch do anything here? Wouldn't there need to be something else plugged in? Like a laptop or pc?

Is this what they call the loopback interface?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

Yeah pretty much

127.0.0.1->127.0.0.2....... 127.0.0.254-> 127.0.0.1

Would be a shame if someone plugged this into a school network :)

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago

That would be a great way to piss off the school

you (yes, you in particular) are the reason why STP was invented.

I would normally suggest that this is more "networking porn", but its just way too fetishistic for regular consumption. you animal!

It’s a Euthanasia Coaster where the cars are 802.3 frames.

John Allen, who served as president of the Philadelphia Toboggan Company, inspired Urbonas with his description of the "ultimate" roller coaster as one that "sends out 24 people and they all come back dead"

Wouldn't something like spanning-tree just down all ports on this?

[-] TechGuy@discuss.online 4 points 1 day ago

If it’s present, and loop guard is enabled, it would block the ports. This looks like an unmanaged switch so probably doesn’t have that feature.

Most of Netgear’s managed switch range have a loop guard function, even if they don’t do full STP.

Ah broadcast storms. The best kind of storms.

It doesnt even matter, TTL is only decreased when routing. Ethernet frames have no such concept.

[-] mvirts@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Til. I thought switches would decrement ttl but that makes perfect sense.

The post title adds so much I laughed mostly because of it.

Yes I do have kids why do you ask?
