Has your company recently upgraded your Cisco network routers, ethernet switches, wireless access points or IP telephones?  Cisco equipment that has gone through its first lifecycle often retains market value post de-installation.  Cisco Systems is a global leader in IT infrastructure technology, and like any top-tier brand, their products retain value even after they are used.

Cisco routers often need to be upgraded to support a business’ need for additional bandwidth or throughput.  Cisco switches may be displaced as a business’ needs shift from traditional 100MB switching to Gigabit or 10 Gigabit.  Cisco wireless G networks are currently being upgraded to support the new IEEE 802.11N wireless standard.  Cisco IP phones are upgraded to support Gigabit ethernet throughput, color displays, additional line appearances and business process integration.

All of these products maintain a portion of their original acquisition cost even after they are no longer up to spec for your own current business needs.  Selling your Used Cisco Equipment is a great way to partially offset the cost of your network infrastructure upgrades.  Many vendors and Cisco resellers also offer trade-in credit toward the purchase of newer Cisco hardware.

If you are considering selling your used or excess Cisco equipment, here are a few things to remember.

1 – Document an accurate inventory of what you have.  Record Cisco part #’s, serials #’s, as well as any additional software licenses, hardware interfaces and modules that may be installed in your Cisco routers, switches and other products.

2 – Take photos of your inventory.  If your used Cisco products are still in good physical and cosmetic condition, some photos will showcase their condition and add value for any potential purchaser.

3 – Research the current market value of your equipment.

4 – Work with a qualified buyer.  There are thousands of companies and individuals who purchase Used Cisco Equipment, some more reputable than others.  Don’t be afraid to ask for client references.

In summary, be aware that your Used Cisco Equipment is likely still worth a great deal of money even after you have upgraded. Rather than recycling it or paying someone to haul it off to a landfill, consider selling it to a qualified secondary market IT reseller.

In the current economy, driving a small and efficient business is not an easy thing to do. And of course, it is the only way to survive also. Companies all over the world are trying to reduce their cost in every wing they have which includes the Network Infrastructure also.

So how can a company stay small and save money, while still getting the best enterprise network equipment available? As we all know the standards of Cisco Systems Products and their Quality, they make quality networking equipment that often retains a great value even after a bit of wear and tear. Many of the companies dispose the network equipment that is no longer working, but still they can be recycled and refurbished for sale.

Here I just want to mention some thing about the Cisco Routers. The difference that sets a router a part from a PC is the fact that a router can perform special tasks such as controlling or routing traffic between two or more computer networks. Routers can be thought of as a smart network device. Consider the hardware of a Cisco router in order to understand just specifically how a router can perform its many functions.
