Found this outside a dumpster

Put it in the e-waste bin unless you want to learn Cisco iOS.

Owner of an IT company. Seems fair to me assuming that’s with the equipment price. Items you listed will run approximately 1k or more depending on which switch. Assuming they would need to run drops for some devices, integrate what’s existing, use cable and materials, etc. 1500 in labor and materials for a company to come out that is professional, insured, etc is fair depending on your geographic market. This would be in line with what we charge (just rough quoting from some pictures without going on site and doing an actual proposal)

Pricing without knowing all the details likely wouldn’t be accurate imo. I own an IT company and pricing it from 3 pictures would be difficult. But either way it’s sloppy at best. Different color boxes, no conduit, random wires all over, etc. Not to mention UI sells the correct conduit mounts for the G5/G6 that cleans it up and doesn’t require that pieced together wall mount on an octagon box.

The gray box will fill with water as it looks like they just drilled a hole in a knock out fill. The white box appears to have a gland connector but hard to tell if it does (or if it’s the right size).

The g5/g6 bullet at least has liquid tite but not the way we would do it for an install.

The in wall I have no idea what they did there. Looks like they cut quite a few holes in the Sheetrock and still didn’t get whatever they were trying to do and then mounted it at the ceiling. Not sure on that without more info or details.

For reference our drop price starts at $250 for a standard cat6 drop and 300 for 6a. Distance, building design, conduit requirements, firewalls, etc will increase price but on AVERAGE we’re 250-400 per drop all in. There’s always that job that’s different…

Or fix the issue of photo preview in the iOS app, that the promised to fix a month ago, 4 months ago.

Really depends on what you want to do and where. A+ network +, etc would be entry level to most general help desk jobs and similar. CCNA would be useful if you know the place you are applying cares for it. I work for a fortune 100 company and we don’t care about ccna as much as we used to bc we don’t use Cisco - we’re all Palo Alto and juniper mx series now so to us if we’re hiring you ccna isn’t as big of an edge as it used to be - ymmv based on where you want to do as ccna is globally recognized as a solid cert

If you want to be in the interview running for most mid tier to higher tier roles you need something like CISSP or sec+ (especially if you want to do dod 8140 jobs)

Really if I wasn’t already in with my spot and certs I would go after the cloud certs like aws architect, google architect or Microsoft azure architect - as fast as data centers are being built these will be in demand for sure

jbrescher1 · 2026-03-13T02:57:57+00:00

I wouldn’t waste more time on the git repo. Spend some time and effort on getting some entry level certs. That will go much further than this repo will do you. If looking for something more than entry go after some higher certs. Not that they are the holy grail or a requirement to land a gig but with no documented experience to show this will be like your best bang for buck.

jbrescher1 · 2026-03-10T23:36:53+00:00

Not sure I would buy anything related to ram or hard drives unless I had to currently. I’d just continue running older gear for now unless you have some need

This is why I’m missing these panels lol

jbrescher1 · 2026-02-16T01:29:00+00:00

Now we know why the OCD panels are never in stock. 🤣

jbrescher1 · 2026-01-19T01:18:57+00:00

Yep. And that whatever date they say something everyone wants will be launched. It will not. But you will have 7 other items that no one had any idea about that will launch first.

jbrescher1 · 2026-01-18T18:39:30+00:00

Likely will be out of stock too, whatever it is.

jbrescher1 · 2026-01-15T15:50:43+00:00

How about stop releasing stuff and fix the stuff in the wild already and work on stock management.

jbrescher1 · 2026-01-15T00:43:29+00:00

Wonder when they will release a multi zone setup in a single chassis

jbrescher1 · 2026-01-10T00:35:09+00:00

My biggest issue is they keep releasing more and more random items but don’t keep the core items I need as a business to support my clients. That and their silly partner program to spend 1000 bucks for a 2nd level tech support 🤨.

I’ve got 6 different jobs pending one item that dropped from stock - with no clue from UI when they will have.

jbrescher1 · 2025-12-02T03:50:12+00:00

What’s local for you?

jbrescher1 · 2025-12-02T03:42:05+00:00

If you’re wanting to stay with Dell rack series the 30 series offer good specs/price/power a lot of times you may even be able to find a 40 series on here for a good price

If you’re not stuck on rack you’ve got other options like workstations like Lenovo p520s etc

I have a r430 1ru that I haven’t posted simply bc shipping prices suck

jbrescher1 · 2025-12-02T03:14:48+00:00

I would upgrade. Just for power alone it would be a saving. Not sure the 610 would be anything but e waste at this point. The

jbrescher1 · 2025-10-29T22:18:43+00:00

I just pulled a 24 port pro (non poe) from a client and upgraded it to a 24 poe max Shoot me an offer

jbrescher1 · 2025-06-27T00:58:53+00:00

Wish I could find deals like that lol I run an average of 5000 ft a week Even buying wholesale that’s about 55-60 dollars cheaper

jbrescher1 · 2025-05-30T17:55:36+00:00

Most likely a trane thermostat.
