Network switch and firewall disposition

A network refresh can leave switches, routers, firewalls, and boxes of optics from several generations. Describe them together, including equipment that is disconnected, incomplete, or of unknown condition. We review the whole lot and confirm what can be included before collection.

Tell us whether the equipment is still installed in racks or has already been gathered for pickup. Include loose transceivers, power supplies, and accessories in your photos or description so they can be considered in the same plan.

Photos of model labels and a rough count are useful starting points. For optics, readable part numbers can help distinguish modules that look similar. An existing network inventory is welcome, but you do not need to prepare one just to contact us.

Note known faults, missing components, and any account or management restrictions your team knows about. Do not send credentials or configuration backups through the inquiry form. The responsible administrator can handle access questions as part of preparing the equipment for retirement.

Network devices may need attention to stored configuration, credentials, or internal media as part of retirement. Tell us about your requirements before the handoff so the handling scope is agreed for the equipment involved. Do not assume that every device follows the same process as a loose hard drive.

Where the job includes HDDs or SSDs, we discuss their data service separately. Requests for on-site shredding are subject to confirmed availability and scope. The job summary records the hardware, with any additional service documentation agreed before work.
