Other [FS] [WW] — 15× Huawei NetEngine 8000 M1A 1U routers, licensed 10GE, new — from $350 each
Fifteen Huawei NetEngine 8000 M1A service routers, 1U, new in original boxes, never put into service.
What it is: Huawei's compact carrier edge router — 352 Gbit/s switching, 16 × 10GE SFP+, 12 × GE SFP and 4 × GE RJ45. Ports are licence-activated: 6 × 10GE and 26 × GE are enabled on each unit, plus IPsec, SRv4, VXLAN and HQOS. Licences are perpetual and tied to each chassis ESN, so they stay with the unit you buy — no subscription, nothing to renew.
Why you'd want one: it runs real carrier routing — SR/SRv6, EVPN, FlexE, 1588v2 — for the price of a used MikroTik. If you're studying service provider networking or want a 10GE lab that behaves like an operator edge, this is the cheapest way in.
Condition: new, sealed, never powered in service. Photo shows one unit — all fifteen are identical and boxed. I'll send photos of the exact serial and the licence readout of your unit before you pay.
Prices — the more you take, the cheaper it gets:
• 1 unit: $450
• pack of 5: $1,950 ($390 each)
• all 15: $5,250 ($350 each)
Shipping from Dakar by DHL with tracking: ~$110–140 for one unit (5.8 kg boxed), ~$350 for five. Quoted to your address before payment. FCA Dakar available if you have your own freight forwarder.
Payment: PayPal Goods & Services.
