Misleading Title
The title of the article implies that the DoD is SELLING counterfeit Cisco equipment, when in fact it was SOLD counterfeit Cisco equipment. Typical sensationalism journalism at it's best.
FBI Selling Counterfeit gear
I agree one could interpert the heading that way because it should say "was sold". Just a simple error cleared up by reading the article
More markings won't help
Even with more secure markings, how would you educate the end purchaser to tell real from fake if the gold and silver level partners can't tell the difference???
A Counterfeit Cisco guide
Last year Usedcisco.com published an article in "Electronics Supply & Manufacturing" magazine regarding the identification of counterfeit Cisco and how to protect yourself from being victimized.
The article linked to an internal guide, complete with pictures and diagrams of fakes verses authentic parts.
The complete article is syndicated on their website here: http://www.usedcisco.com/press-my-esm_used_cisco_identifying_fake_chisco.aspx
Enjoy
