Lyrics:

I was sitting in my office trying to make a decision
what to have for dinner, fish, salad, burgers or chicken
the phone rang in a way that changed my mental position
so I put my headset on and I started to listen

I need help quick cuz there has to be glitches
and I cant get NetFlow off of my Cisco Catalyst switches

Alright dude, I’m not a tailor, but I’ll try to help out
but I’m not sure quite exactly what you’re talking about
First of all, what’s your name, and hi my name is Mitch
please give me your position and the model of the switch

It's a 6509 and when it said it supported it
I typed in the command, but it never exported it
now the whole network is running slow, the boss wants to know
and if I can not tell him then he said I should probably go

No Sweat, if we check well then I bet we can get
your stress lessened less before this presses a mess
to see what this pest possesses I run a session of tests
don’t worry I’m support, and dude, I’m one of the best

If it's a 6509 then we can export the data
we will find out what the traffic is and then we'll say see ya later
your boss will give you love and props, rather than bein' a hater
if this doesn’t work then you could get a job as a waiter (What?!)

Relax, I am kidding, now what commands did you use
we can cruise to fix this zoo until your boss is amused
I refuse to be rude, but dude, I'm dying to view
the config that you and your whole crew were trying to use

Well, I entered the commands that they were telling me to
I entered them in two hues one red one blue
like a bruise, it blew a fuse and I started to lose
my whole config and I cant not find the clues to this news

So take me back to white and black your switch is sitting in a stack
what did you enter into it while in the midst of the attack

Well the first thing i did was open up a net-tell
you mean a telnet?
yeah, that’s what I meant, but oh well...
went in config mode and with the keyboard I wrote
GO GO Gadget NetFlow!

Wait... that’s the actual command you used?

Yeah... Why? Is that wrong?

Dude, do you even have a single admin credit at all?
I could have been eating dinner 'stead of stuck on this call
doesn’t matter, I can fix it and I dont want to stall
just give me the controls and go stand next to the wall

First of all what you need to enter for fun
is the MLS commands and get every single one

They're what make the switched traffic happen you see
if you’d a known that you wouldn’t be back chatting to me

Then go back to the router side, enter in the rest
which includes the destination and a good IP address

Get the ip route cache flow on the interfaces
it is easier than the Velcro that replaced your laces

Then use Scrutinizer because it is fabulous
to tell you what your traffic is on your Cisco Catalyst...
