Router/Switches and viruses

Subject: Router/Switches and viruses
Date: Tue, 3 May 2005 22:41:21 +0100 (BST)
Does anyone have any first-hand experience with a
single infected desktop machine (or windows server for
that matter) taking out a LAN switch? Would anyone
have any stories from the trenches of an infected
machine causing a directly connected router to stop
functioning?

If so, what could be done to prevent such an outage?
What IDS/IPS strategy might one implement to prevent
and or at least detect such an event?

Thanks in advance.
