How to identity the switch manufacturing date or year

[Anand Narayana]

Hi,

how do i identify the switch manufacturing date or year with the help of the switch serial number, becuase, we received 2 Nos. of Cisco 2950-24T switch which i suspect it could be a re-furbished one, can any one help me in this regard. is there any site in cisco where i can identify it?

Hi Anand,

Have you received those switches via RMA I mean were they went bad and you got them RMAed from Cisco. If yes they will always be refurbished.

Incase these are new switches which you ordered it should not be refurbished.

I do not think there is external site which can help you looking for the information but you may contact your cisco representative for the same

Regards,
