[cisco-voip] buying Cisco equipment from the 'Internet - how to get it on SmartNet/SASU

[Mike Wilusz (miwilusz)]

Lelio,

The only supported way to purchased used Cisco equipment is through a Cisco Authorized Reseller.  There are MANY companies that are not authorized that will sell used equipment and their own branded SmartNet, but this will not give you TAC support, nor access to software upgrades.

I guess I could always ask for the serial numbers first and go through some process of checking that they are valid? I know they could counterfeit serial numbers as well, but there should be some tracking in place as who owned it last. hmmmmm

A few years back i ran across a company that went that route and ended up with counterfeit products.

Beware buying from unknown sources for production use.

Unfortunately, our AIM-CUE modules don't support CUE v8.6.4 which is the required version to integrate with CUCM v9.0. An AIM2-CUE would work, but they're EOS and there are no refurb's in stock at Cisco.

Has anyone had any luck buying off internet based resellers (new/used) and getting these components on a valid SmarNet/SASU contract.

This is really only a stopgap measure for us to bridge until we upgrade our 3945s to 3945s sometime in the next couple of years.

ATTN Resellers: I have no problem if you want to contact me via EMAIL with comments. You can even include availability and pricing for the components mentioned. If you can sell SASU as part of the deal, please mention this. NOTE: This is for budgetary purposes only and no commitment to purchase is made or implied.
