All the CISCO networking solutions contain Easter eggs, that allow you to see everything because you get full root. Haters insist on calling them backdoors of course.

You can't expect a software distributor to be aware of all of the Easter eggs developers added to its software.

Even after communicating the fact to them several times, and one country or another asking the prison of some high executive. Those things are just too hard to keep track of.
