If we intend to abstract away configuring devices to a GUI level only and not care about what's going on under the hood, then it's time for everyone to just run out and renew their MCSE certifications and buy Meraki subscriptions. This has been a longstanding concern of mine with the next batch of network engineers. The GUI may have a check-box that says "ATT Bit". It is there to click, or not click. But why it should or shouldn't be clicked is the looming danger we are setting up the new blood for. Mark.
