I've got way too much "home lab" gear floating around, and I'm going to cull a whole bunch of it.

 

I have a couple of dozen assorted switches, routers, and firewalls to find a new home for. Mostly Cisco. 

 

Is anyone interested in things like:

 

  • Cisco 18xx/28xx/38xx ISR routers
  • 24/48 port Cisco Switches (Mostly L2, Some L3, some IOS 12, some IOS 15, decent number of them are POE)
  • Cisco ASA's 
  • Juniper SSG 5xx Firewall
  • A couple of AT switches
  • A couple of AT Routers

While out of date, I'd imagine most of this is still useful for anyone wanting to learn more about enterprise networking.

 

I won't say no to any donations of beer, particularly for the POE switches, but within reason this stuff is FTAGH, collect from Paraparaumu.

FYI: just to stimulate some "beer flow" your way :)

Some CISCO routers have built in power supply which can work standalone and more importantly it can be easily adjusted (potentiometer inside) from 12V DC to around 13.5V making a good 12V Lead Acid battery charger.

P.S. I just like to tear various electronics apart to see how it is made and what can be reused.
E.g. I reuse 12V sockets from old domestic ADSL routers and switches as well as their built in power supplies which can be adjusted to 1.5 - 3.3 V and used as step down circuitry...

*EDIT*

 

This is what's left:

1x AT 8350GB switch
1x AT 9424T switch
1x Cisco 2950 switches
1x Cisco 2950 switches
1x Cisco 1811 router
1x Cisco 1841 router without flash
1x Cisco 2811 router
1x Cisco 2811 router 
*1x Cisco 2811 router with WIC-1T
*1x Cisco 2811 router with WIC-1T
1x Cisco 2811 router without rack ears
1x Cisco 2960 switch
1x Cisco 3550 switches
1x Cisco 3550 switches

I also have a couple of older cisco WAP's to go with the NME-AIR-WLC8-K9 floating around somewhere

 

Whilst I'll happily accept alcoholic donations for any of them, the ones with asterisks are the ones I'm firm on wanting something for.

I'd be keen on the following if they're still available - happy to offer some beer in exchange:

 

- 2x Cisco 3560 POE switches

 

- 2x Cisco 2960-S Switches

 

- 1x Cisco 3750 switch

 

 

 

Any other Gigabit POE switches there are in that list (if I've missed any)

The bottom two AT switches are also POE.

 

I'll wait a few days to see if anyone else is keen before I divvy them up, but if no one else wants any they are all yours.

If you are willing to part with a 2960-s that would be awesome :) - Watch my wife cringe at the noise!
