I was thinking about buying a secondhand Cisco 48 port switch as a backup to our current 48 port switch.
The problem is that Cisco do not allow their IOS to be transfered with the sale so if you buy a secondhand switch from eBay you have to re-license the switch and have the hardware inspected!

That is stupid!! I mean, you can sell a PC with OEM software and that is trasferable why not IOS?
