Nerdcore VLAN

(Verse 1)
They took all the switches, put them in the network room,
Connected all the nodes, and then they let it zoom,
But then one misconfig, a tiny slip of the hand,
Blackholed the VLAN, and silence swept the land.

(Chorus)
They paved over the interface, put up a VLAN named 666,
With a beep-beep, there’s no ping,
Now it's a parking lot!

(Verse 2)
Late last night, I got the network log report,
And my packet data, it wasn't being port to port,
I said, “Hey, Mr. Admin, this thing’s just gone all wrong!”
He said, “All I did was make that VLAN where packets don't belong.”

(Chorus)
They paved over the interface, put up a VLAN named 666,
With a beep-beep, there’s no ping,
Now it's a parking lot!

(Verse 3)
I remember when this network, it used to run so free,
Packets streaming here and there, like fish in the sea,
But now there’s this blackhole, where data goes to die,
I look at that VLAN number and can't help but sigh.

(Chorus)
They paved over the interface, put up a VLAN named 666,
With a beep-beep, there’s no ping,
Now it's a parking lot!

(Bridge)
Sometimes I wish, for the days of old,
When configurations were bold,
But mistakes like this, they teach us so,
To always double-check before we let data flow.

(Chorus)
They paved over the interface, put up a VLAN named 666,
With a beep-beep, there’s no ping,
Now it's a parking lot!

(Outro)
So next time you're routing, or switching on the fly,
Remember that blackhole, and always ask yourself why,
For one wrong number, can bring a network to a stop,
All thanks to that VLAN that turned it into a parking lot.
