I've seen some switch have these included:

These make it so you can screw them into the switch (the four holes) and make it compatible with the standard 19" cabinets. It's worth taking a look if these sorts of things will work with your switch + cabinet

Can you buy these of ebay? What about servers how will that work if the server is smaller than the rack? 

Technology is NEVER easy :(

Those types of brackets would be dependant on your switch and rackmount.

For example, typically rackmount standard is 19", but your switch can be whatever size. This bracket has to fit in the space between the switch and the rackmount, so it's not a universal bracket.

 

See my post as encouragement to look up what standard your rackmount uses, what standard (if any) your switch uses and see if these sorts of brackets are an option.

I am going to buy a 600mm wide server rack, and a 440mm wide cisco switch. How will I mount a smaller switch in a large server rack? Any help appreciated 

Are you sure the 600mm is not the depth? Server racks really only come in one width. 19", but 600mm is a common depth of rack.
