    Default Doing vs Thinking

    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.
    Androgens Order
    Forgive your enemies, but never, ever forget their names.
    The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive but never forget.

    The best answer would be

    "I don't Know How to do THAT"

    Talking

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

    Cheers,
    Andrew

    Ohhh, I thought I had the answer to that.

    1. The port of Melbourne.
    2. The port of Sydney.
    3. The port of Adelaide,
    etc. etc. etc.
