It doesn't, but Cisco was great and they've just evolved into a laughing stock. Their stuff is really bad these days.

And they've overstretched their product line to too many things, trying to be the "be all" company. Fortinet is making the same mistake, but they're earlier in that process.

I mean, it's not really a mistake on their parts, their primary goal is to get rich and they are succeeding.

Citation: I've been working with Cisco technologies since the mid-1990s. At my current job, we are a few weeks away from phasing out the last of our Cisco junk. And since people will ask: to Juniper/Mist and Arista.

True. There were few (no other?) options for routers back then. I have fond memories of locking myself out of an ISP's core router then having to power cycle it.
