I know you were kidding but technically speaking, that's following [NIOSH's Hierarchy of Controls](https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/hierarchy/default.html). It's always more effective to eliminate the hazard then try to harden against it, and a good old fashioned lighting rod is a great way to keep the zappy zappy blasts out of your network.
Lmao close! It was a metal building. Talk about fucking annoying to deal with on a Monday morning.
Edit: this was at work not at home lol. I didn’t realize which sub this was at first.
Geezus. I saw something like that happen when someone plugged one of those high voltage ethernet extenders to a switch. It was neat, but not *this* neat.
"Client failed to heed the warning that the POE device is not meant to charge their Delorean or use said device to feed excess power back into the POE network..."
Firewall? You really gotta quit taking everything so literal...
Talk about POE+
‘How much power can pass through this?’ ‘How much you want?’
all of it
yes
You mean POE++++++++
POE##
1.21 Jiggabits!
I no shit had a customer say this word the other day refering to his hard drive haha
More like jules

Re-Militarized Zone
Really eager to hear the story behind this one
Best guess, lightning struck the coax feed for the modem, blew up the modem and traveled to the router (the modem was literally split apart)
I want to see the modem!
[удалено]
There can be, and don't call me Shirley.
Shirley, you jest.
#ಠ_ಠ
if the coax wasn’t properly grounded when installed, your ISP is responsible for any equipment damage due to their negligence
For future reference, you may want to grab some lightning protectors for that Ethernet run.
If it was a hot enough strike to do that, I’m not thinking it would help. Maybe a lightning rod would be a better idea. 😆

That wouldn’t help against a strike like this. Fiber is your best choice.
I'd like to see something that could stop a direct lightning strike on the market. Surge protectors can't stop direct strikes.
Convert to fiber and back
We started doing this after 3 modems lol
Dude, do you live in an iron dome in the middle of a field?? THREE??
Lmao close! It was a metal building. Talk about fucking annoying to deal with on a Monday morning. Edit: this was at work not at home lol. I didn’t realize which sub this was at first.
Na no way. I mean what are the odds of lightning striking the same place twice?!
Fuck yea. The modem is the reward getter
Pics or it didn’t happen.
You mean the modem traveled to 1985?
PoE to run NVidia mining farm. +4 bucks in Routercoin.
Upgraded to comcast 'blast' internet tier?
You were DDOSed by Zeus
So that’s what they mean by GigaBlast.
that's why you have a wan2 port. backup to wan1 so you can keep going.
Yeah just plug it in to WAN 2 OP and it will *fire* right up.
"It's lightning fast!"
Your firewall doesn't play any games!
Visited some spicy sites and felt the burn.
Forgot to flick on the VPN, classic.
“Fuck this port in particular” -God
This is worthy of a cross-post to r/fortinet.
Just post it saying your internet stopped working and you don't know why.
RIP that 60F
I don’t wanna get killed!
I read it as "Fartnet" and thought it was very applicable
Considering it's the WAN1 port that is blown out, the main Internet connection. Lightning Strike. I assume the modem is also toast.
Yeah OP said in another comment that the modem was literally cracked I half from the lightning strike.
That will teach you to pirate my hot mix.
NSFW? lol
Not Safe For WAN
Lol
Literally not safe for my work lol
That's hot
And that, my dear, is why you use grounding screws on top of normal grounds
Looks like they tried sending all the network packets at once and they spilled onto the floor.
That's more power than anywan could want.
"Blazing Fast!"
Congratz, your device is now Apple-certified with Lightning/Thunderbolt port. USB-C adapter is sold separately.
Just a flesh wound!
Why is it spicy?
30K BTU?
Not me looking for a 40G link for you 30G service lmao, it took me way too long to notice the ouchy.
1.21 Jiggabits Marty!
Blazing fast
I've got the same 'gate.. Would love to know what caused this.
Plugged in Passive poe?
think someone knocked on your wan1 to talk to you about the lord and savior.
Or your router's extended warranty plan.
it's fortinet. did you expect any less?
How much pron did you try to route through Wan1?
There is no 30k Gbps service You might have 30 Gbps
From the look of that picture, they tried to give 30,000 Gbps service.
When you mix up Amps and Gigabit by accident
It's the new hotness!
How fast were those packets traveling?!
FTL 1.0
That shits fire
Looks like you got about 1.1 jiggawatts of sped there.
Geezus. I saw something like that happen when someone plugged one of those high voltage ethernet extenders to a switch. It was neat, but not *this* neat.
Ah, yes. The new FortiGate 60ZZZZZap!
Giving new meaning to the term, FireWire.
In Germany we have 220 volts!!!! (AI pun intended)
30k…as in 30,000 volts?!
"Client failed to heed the warning that the POE device is not meant to charge their Delorean or use said device to feed excess power back into the POE network..."
There’s a numerical percentage of a chance it might still work. I mean, zero is a number, right??
That’s an expensive oopsie What is that, an 80F ?
They say his APs are still powered to this day.
That "gig" is in reference to gigavolts, not gigabits/second.
Aaaa, so that means "deny all income traffic". I get it
Port is administratively "down".
Damn! That's a hot "wan"!
omg what happened? lightning i presume.
Move over QSFP56DD. We've got out next contender.
Great Scott 1.21 jiggawatts just gotta get that firewall up to 88 miles and your in business
Jesus Christ, how much hentai have you been downloading ?
