The Bay Network switches were pretty good, actually. Well, not so much the Centillion...but the Baystacks were ok. It was the routers that they got from Wellfleet through the Bay acquisition that were wildly out of date with the worst management software ever written (Site Manager). They were still trying to push BCN/ARNs after everyone else (least of all Cisco) had introduced 3-4 new generations. And Site Manager was awful...seriously.
Err...eccentric and odd mean the same thing.
