I have seen a Cisco router with 17 years of uptime in an internet exchange in Canada.
Who needs security patching or maintenance support anyway.
Who said it was connected to the internet?
Who said only internet-facing assets need to be patched?
Who said it was connected to a network?
What would be the point of a router not connected to any network?
I dunno. Development? Ask OP.
This comment thread is about an unpatched router (probably in production) at a Canadian Internet exchange
Developing for a 17 year old router
Not rebooting for security patches isn’t something to be proud of.
On the other hand, network partitioning and security that means you don’t have to reboot an internal device for security patches is something to be proud of.
On my site we have tons of archaic, unpatchable industrial devices.
I’m tired boss
