Does anyone have tips on dealing with Change advisory boards who deny change requests for simple items like this and demand it be performed afterhours?
In the context of this request. This is a brand new switch....non stackable, that will have a single link extended to it from an existing stack of switches upstream. Already accounted for STP priority and set it accordingly to a value higher than the upstream switch, no vtp, and only 10 vlans.
Who is in the wrong here. I see it as change control doesn't understand the technology or the words on the paper I've written so the just default to a "better do it on the weekend just in case" mindset.
But a printer has just as much ability to flood a segment with bpdu's as a switch could possibly have. Does that mean you save printers until after hours as well?
I guess my rant here is people who lack understanding of technology and create roadblocks in your career or work/life balance. Whats the most effective way to push back on ignorance like this. Or am I the one who is ignorant here?
