VenmoStraight out of the mid-2000s enterprise era, this all-metal tank is ready for a new life as a budget homelab backbone, garage network switch, or retro-tech showpiece. It moves Gigabit packets just as reliably as modern gear, with the unmistakable sound of dual fans screaming to let you know serious work is happening.
-
Condition: Fully factory reset, wiped clean, and tested. All 24 Gigabit Ethernet ports forward traffic out of the box as a solid Layer 2 switch. SFP Ports are not tested.
-
Firmware: Running the final official Dell release (2.0.1.4 / Boot 1.0.2.02).
-
Management Note: The switch is wiped to true out-of-the-box defaults. Web/remote management is locked until an initial admin user is set via the front DB-9 serial console port. (Pro tip: treat it as a bombproof unmanaged 24-port switch and plug-and-play, or bring your favorite USB-to-serial cable and a terminal emulator to dive into the classic Cisco-like CLI).
-
Power: Standard internal power supply (uses a standard AC power cord, included).
A classic piece of enterprise iron for tinkerers, retro lab enthusiasts, or anyone who just needs 24 reliable Gigabit ports in a sturdy 1U rackmount chassis.
