      @DefenderLLC they were a workhorse that is for sure! I can tell you for sure there are still plenty still out there working away... I just texted my buddy to see if they have it still up.. I know I had found an old switch with a 10 year something uptime, and was asking my buddy what was the longest uptime he had seen, and he said their 6509 was like 12 years something - he had sent me the output.. I just texted him to see if it still online or they finally got rid of it, I know they were moved one of the DCs to a new location.. And that might of been on the chopping block, but lets see if he gets back to me anytime soon ;)

      I just looked - my current gig we have some 4500s still in operation.. One I just connected to has an uptime of 10 years, 19 weeks ;)

        @johnpoz Wow! Yeah, those things were/are pretty bulletproof - literally. Are they still running CatOS code, or did they finally start supporting IOS?

            Dude, that's awesome. I bet Dell still has tons of 3750s, 2924s, and 2948s in the IDF closets!

              I used to have those in my environment with longer uptimes than that. Unfortunately I get audited and I'm not allowed to use EOS/EOL gear at all, so most of them got replaced with 9400/9500's in VSS years ago.

                When I worked at GM, we had a yearly exercise that required simulating dozens of every type of network failure that you can think of on the MFG floor, so the uptimes would never be more than one year. Stuff like simulated WAN circuit outages, switch port failures, etc. They didn't do that in the corporate offices though.
