Useful, or trash? (Switches, firewall, PDUs) (alien.top)

I snagged a bunch of equipment from a business selling off their stuff.

Watchguard Firebox M500
Tripp-lite PDUMH20ATNET (x4)
Cisco Catalyst 3560 POE-24
Dell PowerConnect 6224

I run a Ubuiqiti setup ATM (AP + DM:SE). I'm thinking the PDUs and Firewall might be useful, though I see people maybe recommend PFSense over WatchGuard.

Edit: I also need to, at some point, get 5 SNMP devices for the free trial thing going on around Reddit.

The firebox m500 is solid to use for pfsense/opnsense.

Tripp-lite pdus are very nice if you they have the management card in them.

The 3560 i would not use due to consumption/age.

Thanks! The Tripp lites have been amazing to use. I think they do. They have the status Ethernet connector with two other PS/2 style connectors.

The M500 has some weird issue where it beeps 3 times, short pause, and another 3 beeps. On repeat. I’ve tried factory resetting but no dice so far. Can’t get the arm to do anything but be red.

Good to know about the 3650

Sorry this is late, but this is a memory failure beep code. Unless I'm very mistaken, the m500 is basically a mini PC. Bust it open and you should see some sodimms in there.
