You need to buy a license to look up that answer.

Apparently their most recent hardware requires an internet connection to configure itself? Which, for network hardware, is kind of worrying.

You need 5 years of network admin experience for an entry level network technician position.

Sounds more like Oracle to me.

I just started really working with Oracle. Everything they do is extremely expensive for no good reason, it's nuts.

If they ever have you by the proverbial balls, they will squeeze you for every dollar they can.
I know, I know, it's a feature capitalism and whatnot, but willingly doing business with oracle is baffling to me, let alone actually depending on them.

Correction: you need to purchase a 80k USD DNA Center in order to buy a license for that question. The base price for that license is 2k USD, but if you actually want to use the features you're buying it for, then the license is an extra 5k and it has a lead time of 17 months.
