Cisco networking buyback — Catalyst, Nexus, ASR/ISR.
We buy back Cisco networking across the full enterprise line: Catalyst (access + aggregation), Nexus (data centre), ASR / ISR (routing). Indicative CAD residuals: Catalyst 9300-48UXM C$2,500-5,500; Catalyst 9500-48Y4C C$3,500-7,500; Nexus 9332PQ C$3,000-6,500. Configuration sanitisation included on every device.
Common configurations
- ♦ Catalyst 9300 series (9300-24T, 9300-48T, 9300-48UXM) — access switches.
- ♦ Catalyst 9500 series (9500-48Y4C, 9500-32C) — aggregation / spine.
- ♦ Catalyst 9600 series (9606R, 9610R) — high-density chassis aggregation.
- ♦ Catalyst 6500 / 6800 — legacy chassis, demand softening.
- ♦ Nexus 9000 (9332PQ, 9508 chassis, 9504 chassis) — DC fabric.
- ♦ Nexus 7000 (7706, 7710) — legacy DC chassis.
- ♦ Nexus 5500 (5548UP, 5596UP) — older DC, C$300-1,500.
- ♦ ASR 1000 (1001-X, 1002-HX, 1006-X) — edge routing.
- ♦ ISR 4000 (4321, 4451-X) — branch routing.
- ♦ Optics / SFPs / cables — bulk lots, C$300-1,200 per 100-SFP lot.
What 'configuration wipe' actually means on Cisco.
Cisco networking devices don't typically hold customer personal data, but they carry significant configuration: route maps, VPN configurations, ACLs, RADIUS / TACACS+ shared secrets, BGP peer credentials, MPLS L2VPN and L3VPN configs, IPsec keys, and on some kit (firewalls, ASA, ISR with IPS) the log captures and IDS signatures.
Per-device configuration sanitisation: 'erase startup-config' followed by 'reload' from ROMmon (clears running config + boot reload). Plus NIST 800-88 Purge on any non-volatile flash holding logs, packet captures, or signature databases. Documented per device on the Certificate of Destruction.
Maxicom Canada — frequently asked
How fast can you sanitise a Cisco Catalyst 9500?
Configuration sanitisation runs in minutes per device on Catalyst 9500 (factory-default reset + flash wipe). For a 48-device buyback lot, the full sanitisation queue runs in 4-6 hours. Documented on per-device wipe-log.
