How can any device take down an "entire IP network"? All the ways I can think
of that happening are due to user error in configuring the device, which can
apply to any device (true, some make devices encourage more user errors than
others). For example, you could:
* assign a duplicate address, which causes problems on another router or server
* assign a duplicate subnet, which causes routing tables to be hosed for awhile
