You don't have to call them rude names, and if you asked, "Is your 
switch configured properly?" then of course it is,  but if you can 
explain "we have a problem, is there something we can try to get around 
it?" the response might be more accommodating.

"Can we change timeouts?" It might be increasing the time before 
something times out won't have any effect in the ordinary course of 
events, but help in your case.

'Can we ...?"

There's never only one correct configuration for anything 
computer-related, and if there's something not working there may be 
improvements available.
