As any of my colleagues will tell you, I suffer from what is almost an addiction to buying tech related items.
To name a few of my Ebay Cisco bargains, I picked up an ACS 1113 appliance for £129 and sold it for £1200, bought a Cat 500 24 port switch for £35 and an AP1242 for £70.

Its at this point that I am going to point you towards our ebay Feed, which will bring up any Cisco related Auction Items that are in their last 4 hours. This way you will never miss another bargain!

Looks like there will be new Cisco routers available soon. It was only a matter of time given the release of the 888, 860, 861 etc, especially given that an ADSL router wasn’t released at the same time.

Release notes here:

Cisco ASDM is used to manage the ASA and Pix families of firewalls. Version 6.1.1 got a release a little while ago and brought a few welcome tweaks. Mainly, the look and feel has been improved. The graphs, tables and Pie charts now look a little more like something you might show a non-technical person/Manager.

The interface graphing has also had the same improvements.
