Useful, or trash? (Switches, firewall, PDUs)
Useful, or trash? (Switches, firewall, PDUs)
I snagged a bunch of equipment from a business selling off their stuff.
- Watchguard Firebox M500
- Tripp-lite PDUMH20ATNET (x4)
- Cisco Catalyst 3560 POE-24
- Dell PowerConnect 6224
I run a Ubuiqiti setup ATM (AP + DM:SE). I'm thinking the PDUs and Firewall might be useful, though I see people maybe recommend PFSense over WatchGuard.
Edit: I also need to, at some point, get 5 SNMP devices for the free trial thing going on around Reddit.
The firebox m500 is solid to use for pfsense/opnsense.
Tripp-lite pdus are very nice if you they have the management card in them.
The 3560 i would not use due to consumption/age.
1Thanks! The Tripp lites have been amazing to use. I think they do. They have the status Ethernet connector with two other PS/2 style connectors.
The M500 has some weird issue where it beeps 3 times, short pause, and another 3 beeps. On repeat. I’ve tried factory resetting but no dice so far. Can’t get the arm to do anything but be red.
Good to know about the 3650

i asked my girlfriend if she knew what a trash can was. she said, " it's called trash can, baby. " i replied, " thanks, but i don't know why you're asking. "
