if he were smart; he would sell that switch and buy several switches. lol
Old Cisco gear shows up in the thrift shops here. I think you can't even give 10/100 kit away.
how could you tell it was a 10/100... or even a cisco switch?
it looks more like an old small plane dell powerconnect to me.
the black and white sticker is a dead giveaway
i always felt that the old dell powerconnect line of switches' operating system was a knockoff of cisco's; so i can say with confidence that, that sticker was probably more useful than the old powerconnects. lol
This picture has been jpeg-ified so many times that the details are illegible now
I'm pretty sure it was a Cisco if I'm not mistaken, but I could be remembering wrong
Best one I could find, from 2018:
it might as well be since they're all black pizza boxes with holes. lol
I didn't. It just looks like the fair number of Cisco (and the occasional Dell) 10/100/sometimes Gigabit switches I've seen in junk shops.
I bought a nifty blue Netgear 24-port one mostly because I'm more willing to buy junk from the Humane Society shop, but then decided it was too loud (40mm fans) and went to 2.5G (with smaller fanless switches) instead.
i used to marvel at people at people who setup racks in their own home with those LOUD blades because my time racking & stacking in all the data centers have lead to permanent hearing damage so seeing these people bring that into their home is wild to me.
What if it were 10/100 Gb/s ?
