Hi Terry, Minor hijack (Sorry Kim) -
I appreciate that you can get some additional RJ45 network cards to enable all the connections from your PC to the switches but I have yet to find one with enough ports - what did you use please and was this done under Linux or Windows ?

Hi Kim, Given the fact that the Dynamips configs don't support a 3550 or 3560, but instead it uses the 16 port switch modules the configs can't match. The workbook is configured for the real rack equipment. What I did was get four switches and just emulate the routers on dynamips. It works great. The Workbook labs will have to be adjusted to reflect the Dynamips topology (usually its really simple change a 1 to a 0 or something that simple). Also keep in mind that there is a lot of Layer 2 stuff you can't do on a 100% dynamips rack. Till I got my switches I just used real racks for the Layer 2 stuff.
