Would anyone be interested in a Cisco 3750 (WS-C3750G-48PS) for their #HomeLab or #SelfHosting set up etc?
There are 48 x Gig RJ45 ports, 4 x 1Gb SFP ports, and have PoE (15.4w) on all copper ports up to 370w total. This is usually good enough for CCTV cameras, VoIP phones and WiFi APs.
It’s an old model, but works fine. It will be wiped and won’t have any SFPs or console cable, but I can provide a power cable if needed.
If you don’t want to buy a console cable I can configure it with an IP and credentials.
I was given several by a friend, but don’t need them all. One of them is still my core switch, which is on 24/7.
I am willing to post to the UK only, as it will be too expensive to send overseas (unless you’re willing to pay, but then would be cheaper to just buy one off ebay locally…)
Any takers?
I don’t want to just give them to a recycling company, and ebay would probably be too much hassle.
DM me here or on Mastodon if you’re interested 😀
Ive seen cisco licensing costs…ain’t no way in heck I would touch their stuff personally. Hopefully someone can get use out of it. Good on your for offering to the community.
No licence is required for this model. I wouldn’t give away something that needed a shitty licence without mentioning it (but then I probably wouldn’t have taken it for myself in the first place).
I made that mistake with an Infobox device at an auction a few years ago. You can use all functionality for 30 days, then after that you need a licence or NOTHING works and you have to wipe it all and start again. What a pile of shit, I only wanted to play with it and run a few DNS zones.
It’s a shame, I was hoping to learn something from it as they cost a fortune, and usually overkill for what I need, but instead i’m never going to recommend their products. I could open it up and see if I can run Linux on it, but I don’t need yet another device that runs bog-standard Linux - any boring hardware could be used for that purpose. 😞
