These days, it seems, Microspot (which is a subsidiary of Coop, BTW, they got the brand when the scooped up Interdiscount and had left it dormant for years) sells just about any IT item. And often at very competitive prices.
The prices do look very competitive, and not just for Cisco products. Thanks for this tip.
What's more, if they're really owned by Coop, then there's a good chance that if one orders something from them and pays in advance, it will actually arrive. Coop will not want their reputation to be damaged by the sort of tricks that certain startup vendors on toppreise.ch have used, such as making you wait for the product, and then charging more money than advertised to get it, or even taking the money and running when you pay in advance (like speicher-shop.ch).
At least the prosecutor's office in St Gallen are now prosecuting the owner of Speicher-Shop. I wonder if I'll ever see my money back?

You can, even as private person, pay on invoice (30days) for a modest fee. And shipping is very quick (albeit at times pretty costly) in my experience.
Talk of ipv6 seems to be hot right now with RIPE. They issued this statement after the meeting in Amsterdam last week.
http://www.ripe.net/news/community-statement.html
"We urge that the widespread deployment of IPv6 be made a high priority by all stakeholders."
There was also an article on ipv4 depletion in the the October newsletter.

I know, that I'm partly off-topic now, but this topic bothers me for some time now and I want to hear some opinions/experiences from other SwiNOG members.
Cisco has a real problem with their service contract administration. I have access to service contracts that don't belong to our company (for devices located in Germany, Austria and Ireland - we only operate in CH). On the other hand I don't think I see all contracts of our company. I've heard from at least one similar case.
Writing to the Service Support Center doen't help. Either they're not commited to do any work, unable to read or in some other way challenged. Maybe it's also just an organizational issue - buying so many companys as Cisco does, it probably isn't possible to keep up a proper service for the core business.
Anyway - my questions:
1) What are your experiences with Cisco Service Contract Handling? 2) Is there a way to fix this or is it so broken that you have to live with it? 3) Because of all this I'm looking into HP ProCurve Switches as replacment for Cisco Layer 2 Switches (maybe later Layer 3 too). HP support for servers is quite good. Any experiences for Network equipment?
Kind regards, Viktor

My experience is that if you can't achieve something e.g. through TAC -> speak to your account manager.

sure. you have to collect pings, to glue on these papers :) per 10.- on buying at coop, you receive one ping
So bying 'several' 300'000 bucks VXR servers will get you a ping flood?
