WoW! I thought that only Cisco Catalyst's 65xx series can have Control Plan uptime like 5-6 years ... nice one whoever is using it "not-patched" and up2date 🙂 kudos goes to ... the Admin 😛

nice !

It is clear that in the past there was great product testing. All components (HDD, PSU, MB) were 100% reliable with no need to perform any changes.

Nowaday, you need to schedule periodic reboot because "we have no clue what is going on, but reboot will help". Components will last max 2 years and you are forced to buy spare parts, becase "we need money from customers"...

Usually, if you try to reboot a device with very big uptime (IPSO devices for example), they most probably won't get up again. Mostly because there are many errors on HDDs and they were never checked/fixed. And that leads to much more difficulties on old devices than something discovered on newer. I prefer to reboot devices once in a half year at least with installation of Jumbo Hotfix.

Know from my own experience:

First build of IPSO 6.2 was released end of 2009 and Version R75.40 was released April 2012, that is 7 years ago - so this uptime is just anticipating April 1st 😉

The values for the uptime was not edited by the admin, but I believe something goes wrong with SmartviewMonitor. This uptime could not be possible. As you wrote here R75.40 and IPSO 6.2 are not released 2001.

Here another one with really uptime of 1617 days:

As an old Nokia guy, I have no doubt there's an IP appliance somewhere in the world with that kind of uptime.

Uptime in SmartConsole (R80.20) is far from being correct. I have seen negative numbers as uptimes and in one place it will report it as 02:29, while in another it is 29:32.... funny indeed.

I can not understand what you did try to say here :
First two sentences are simply fantasies that could make up a sarcastic comment in another context. The remark about reboot (see the comment from AlekseiShelepov for one very good reason for that) shows a lack of experience at least (the big memory leak?). Sentence four i will not comment at all - sapienti sat.
