That's bananas, Rearden.

Enjoy!

We don't have to deploy them until mid summer, so I'll be good to have some fun for a couple of weeks. I think they run somewhere around 6 or 7k each. Not sure, exactly.

A customer of ours spent over $100,000 on a few 3750's with stack cable operation, couple of 4948's and loads of 2960's. It's the smartnet contracts that bring the price tag up, especially the premium contracts.

The thing that is the real pain for smartnet registration, is that if you enter the wrong serial number in the scc registration form it doesnt have any checks to see if that contract is linked to that hw S/N, so a slight mistype can cause some poor other guy/gal much work to solve.

What is that... thing... below the laptop at the top of the stack?

Heh, it's an old 3Com SuperStack II 3300. A lot of the buildings on campus use them for access switches right now. We're in the process of changing all of our edge gear to Cisco.

Does the IT department know you took that? I am sure they are going to need them back !
If you see a lot of stressed out network technicians at work and a lot of PC support desperately trying to stay out of their way then I would geuss you descretely send a note of where they can be found.

Have fun playing with that. Be very nice if you had a few routers to spread them out logically and start playing with VLAN setups.

I work in the IT department, so yes they do know. :P The pic is in the store room after I unpacked them and was getting ready to do IOS upgrades on all of them.

They are layer 3 so I could have them do inter-vlan routing I suppose.
