Dear All
I have recently come into possession of 3 networking boxes via my work. They are:
Netgear Prosafe 16 Port Gs716
Netgear Prosafe 16 Port Fs116
Cisco Catalyst 3560 PoE 24
These items have come from buildings where they were in use so I expect the work fine, however all I can guarantee is that they all power up and the lights go on. So......as they are no good to me I intend on selling them on ebay, but to realise the best price it would make sense for me to test them. There is where the problem lies as I have no idea how to do so. I have looked on the Internet and it all seems quite complicated. So my question is, is there a simple way to test these items that someone like me would understand? I am not a computer idiot but I do not know how to do 'dos prompt' things. I just know how to use a computer, keep it running, do basic maintenance etc. So hence the title of this post, a simple idiots guide.
Anything you can tell me would be gratefully received. And thank you.
