Non Commercial request for Hardware (learning kit)
Hey All Sorry if this is rude of me to ask and I apologise if so. Does anyone have old routers / switches / firewalls / spare parts or modules for same lying around that are still function (or slightly broken) that they are looking at flicking on or long term loaning? I am looking for any gear that would help me get greater exposure to other hardware / configurations and that can be used in my home lab. I currently have a single Cisco 2821 that was pulled from production, and a Cisco Catalyse 2900XL plus on long term loan I have two Juniper J2320’s. The 2821 has a very loud dying fan that I would like to replace (flatmates aren’t so understanding about my learning noises) and I would like to get some more experience with Cisco and other manufacturers. I do also have a copy of GNS3 that I will be trying to use more but I have always preferred to grab actual physical hardware and wire it up and play around with configs etc. I am wellington based so hardware locally would be a bonus but if its something exciting to learn I would probably try save up shipping. Also I don’t have massive space so while some hardware would be awesome to experience I will likely decline for space reasons. Thank you all in advance. Apologies for any noise on the list. Off list replies are probably best. Please note for future people seeing this in the archive, if you want to take a look / have a play any of the hardware I receive would be available for learning loan to others.

I think begging is acceptable :)
If you were in Sydney I would give you a pile of stuff... but shipping this
stuff costs a LOT.... and import duties.
