Description

Selling a brilliant, enterprise-grade Cisco Catalyst 2960-CX series compact switch (Model: WS-C2960CX-8TC-L).

This is an ideal unit for a home lab, network engineering study (CCNA/CCNP), or a quiet small-office deployment. It features a completely fanless, silent design, so you can keep it right on your desk or in a living space without any noise.

Current Status & Firmware
• Fully Updated: Freshly updated to the absolute latest Cisco "Gold Star" (Suggested/Stable) IOS release: 15.2(7)E13 (Universal Image / LAN Base features).
• Factory Reset: Completely wiped. All previous configurations, VLAN databases (vlan.dat), custom banners, and cryptographic keys have been securely erased.
• Ready to Boot: It is currently sitting at the standard, factory-fresh --- System Configuration Dialog --- prompt, ready for the next owner.
• Hardware Health: 100% functional. Password-recovery mechanism is enabled.
Hardware Specifications
• Ports: 8 x 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet RJ-45 host ports.
• Uplinks: 2 x 1G Copper Gigabit ports + 2 x 1G SFP slots (Total of 12 active ports available).
• License Level: LAN Base (-L suffix) – unlocks advanced ACLs, robust Quality of Service (QoS), and richer Layer 2/light Layer 3 features.
• Processor/Memory: APM86XXX processor with 512MB RAM.

Important Note for Buyers
• Technical Knowledge Required: This is an enterprise-grade managed switch. A basic understanding of networking concepts and the Cisco IOS command-line interface (CLI) is required to configure it. It is not a plug-and-play unmanaged consumer switch.
• Console Cable Needed: To perform the initial configuration, the buyer will need to connect via a standard Cisco console cable (RJ-45 or USB console depending on your preference, cable not included).

Collection in person from Dundalk or can post anywhere in Ireland for additional fee, payment via PayPal or Revolut prior to the shipment. I will not ship overseas.

Since this is a private sale, I exclude any guarantee, warranty, liability for defects, and returns. Item sold "as is."
