How selling your Cisco Catalyst switches to IO South works

  • Send your list. Exact model from the label (for example C9300-48P or C9200L-24T-4G), network modules installed, PoE class, quantity, condition, and where the hardware sits: your data center, a colocation facility, an office, a school or storage. Call 855-272-5044 or email info@iosouth.com.
  • A fair-market offer at no cost, usually within one business day. We buy and resell Cisco Catalyst switches every week, so the offer is priced against real resale value, not a depreciation table.
  • One offer, one pickup. A single unit, a closet, or a full site refresh is the same conversation.
  • We handle logistics. We send a rep to palletize and wrap, arrange freight pickup, and pay for shipping. Evaluation, logistics, freight and payment are handled in house.
  • Your configuration stays yours. Every unit is factory reset before resale, and drives in any server are wiped or destroyed, or returned to you if your policy requires it.
  • United States and worldwide. We buy from businesses across the US and from sites overseas.

Catalyst 9000 switches we buy

  • Catalyst 9200 and 9200L: the entry access switch. 24 and 48 port, PoE+ and non-PoE, the 9200L with fixed uplinks and the 9200 with modular uplinks. Common in branch offices and schools.
  • Catalyst 9300, 9300L and 9300X: the mainstream access and distribution switch. 24 and 48 port, PoE+ and UPOE and UPOE+ models, multigigabit variants, StackWise-480 and StackWise-1T, and modular network modules for 10, 25 and 40 gigabit uplinks. The 9300 is the most common Catalyst switch we buy.
  • Catalyst 9400: the modular chassis (C9404R, C9407R, C9410R) with Supervisor Engine 1 and 1XL and 2, line cards and power supplies. Resells best as complete chassis with supervisors installed.
  • Catalyst 9500 and 9500X: fixed core and aggregation switches with 10, 25, 40 and 100 gigabit ports, including the 9500-16X, 9500-24Y4C, 9500-32C and 9500-48Y4C.
  • Catalyst 9600: the modular core chassis with its supervisors and line cards.
  • Previous generation: Catalyst 3850 and 3650, 2960-X and 2960-XR, 4500-E chassis and 6800 series. Still resold, with the offer depending on model and condition.
  • Modules and accessories: C9300 network modules, StackWise and StackPower cables, power supplies, fans, and SFP, SFP+ and QSFP optics.

Catalyst 9000 and the DNA subscription

Catalyst 9000 hardware is sold with a Cisco DNA or Cisco Networking subscription tied to the original purchase, and sellers often assume an expired subscription makes the switch unsellable. It does not. We buy the hardware regardless of subscription status, and the next owner arranges their own licensing. What we ask is that you tell us whether the units are still registered to your Smart Account and, if your policy requires it, remove them before handoff. The configuration is erased before resale either way.

Sell Catalyst 9300-48P, 9200L-48P and the other common models

A handful of model numbers make up most of what we buy: the C9300-48P and C9300-24P, the C9300-48U and 48UXM, the C9200L-48P-4G and C9200L-24P-4G, and the C9500-16X and 9500-48Y4C in the core. If your closets hold any of those, you have something with a ready buyer. Send the full model string from the label, because the suffix tells us the port count, PoE class and uplink type, and those decide the offer.

Stacks, network modules and power supplies

A 9300 stack resells well when it comes with its StackWise cables and the network modules installed, and a switch with both power supplies is worth more than the same switch with one. Leave the modules in the chassis until our rep arrives, or bag them per switch. Spare optics and modules count too. If the same refresh retires Nexus or UCS gear, see sell used Cisco networking equipment and put everything on one list.

What to send for a Catalyst quote

  • Full model number from the label for each switch, and how many of each.
  • Network modules and optics installed, stacking cables, and the number of power supplies per unit.
  • For 9400 and 9600 chassis: supervisor model and line cards installed.
  • Smart Account registration status and whether the configuration has been erased.
  • Condition, whether the switches are still installed and powered, and the location, including any colocation facility.
  • Photos of the front and rear of a few units, or an inventory export from DNA Center, Catalyst Center or your monitoring platform.

Where we buy

Offices, schools and universities, hospitals, government sites and data centers that are refreshing to newer Catalyst switches or consolidating sites. IO South has offices in Marietta, Georgia and Cincinnati, Ohio, and buys from the United States and worldwide. A refresh is a project, not a pickup: we plan the sequence, label and palletize on site, arrange freight, and keep a record of what left the building.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Catalyst 9000 models do you buy?

Catalyst 9200 and 9200L access switches, Catalyst 9300 and 9300L and 9300X, Catalyst 9400 modular chassis with their supervisors and line cards, Catalyst 9500 and 9500X core and aggregation switches, and Catalyst 9600 chassis. We also buy the previous generation: Catalyst 3850, 3650, 2960-X and 2960-XR, 4500-E and 6800 series, case by case for the oldest.

Do we need an active Cisco DNA or Networking subscription to sell the switch?

No. The hardware is bought regardless of subscription status. Catalyst 9000 switches ship with a subscription tied to the original purchase, and the buyer arranges their own licensing, so we only ask you to tell us whether the units are still registered to your Smart Account.

Do you buy a single Catalyst 9300 or only full stacks?

Both. One 9300-48P from a closet is a normal purchase. So is a campus refresh of several hundred switches. Quantity affects the offer, not whether we make one.

Do the network modules, stack cables and power supplies matter?

Yes. The 9300 network modules (C9300-NM-8X, NM-2Q, NM-4M and the others), StackWise cables and StackPower cables, and the second power supply all add to the offer and all resell. Leave them installed until our rep arrives, or bag them per switch.

What about the configuration and our Smart Account?

Erase the configuration and remove the devices from your Smart Account before handoff if your policy requires it, or leave it and we erase the configuration before resale. Every switch is factory reset and tested before it is sold again.

Our switches are at an office or school, not a data center. Does that matter?

No. Catalyst access switches come to us from offices, schools, hospitals and government sites, often a few closets at a time. We pick up from any site, and a rep palletizes and wraps on arrival.

Do you buy Catalyst switches from outside the United States?

Yes. IO South buys from businesses across the United States and from sites worldwide. Send the location with your list and we include freight in the plan.

Yes. IO South stocks tested used and new Catalyst switches. Browse Cisco Catalyst switches and the full Cisco switches category for current stock.
