This seems like an obvious case of Support-Team knowledge topic: people are having issues with their switch getting on to the Internet, here is a support article describing a one size fits all solutions. But as a network guy I hatte the assumptions they made. It's the same as telling a user: Just disable the Firewall and it will work.

I feel like it would be a fun excercise to intentionally subvert the assumptions they made and see how they handle it.

Something like putting your Switch on a /30 or Configuring DHCP to assign IPs in decreasing order.
