Cisco IOS XE Operating System
Cisco IOS XE Software provides a modular, Linux-based architecture that separates control and data plane functions for enhanced stability and performance. The operating system's universal image includes all features activated through licensing, simplifying software management and deployment. Benefits include superior scalability through separation of routing functions from packet forwarding, comprehensive security with regular updates and patches, and extensive protocol support for diverse networking requirements. Organisations should note that advanced features require appropriate licences, and the learning curve may be steeper for administrators unfamiliar with Cisco command-line interface compared to simplified management platforms.
Cosmetic Condition Grades
Excellent Grade network equipment shows evidence of very light previous use with minimal wear on housing and external surfaces. Units may have very minor scuffing or minor abrasions associated with light standard use, with no deep scratches, cracks, paint chips, or broken/missing pieces.
Good Grade network equipment is fully tested and fully functional but may feature light scratches on the external body and more visible unit housing wear than Excellent grade units. Good grade routers may feature one or several small dings or dents on covers and/or small paint chips on the surface.

Units will only feature the standard minimal wear and tear that is associated with a used unit.
"Good" Grade - Laptops
"Good" laptops may feature one or several small dings or dents on covers and / or small paint chips on the surface or small hairline cracks in the bezel. Laptop screens may feature uneven light diffusion in screen and may feature subtle blemishes. "Good" Laptops will not feature cracks screens but may feature slight scratching, dead pixels or white spots on the screen.
"Good" Grade - Desktops
"Good" grade desktops may have light scratches on external body and may feature more excessive unit housing and/or external case wear than "Excellent" units, including wear on case / lid. "Good" PCs may feature one or several small dings or dents on covers and / or small paint chips on the surface.
"Good" Grade - Monitors
Displays in the "Good" grade have been fully tested and are functional but may include scratches on body, small paint chips, minor cracks on body, loose and/or wobbly bases.
