Hi
It's really not the number of routers, it's the number and function of the
ports. A lot of what you are going to do on a lab exersise is going to be
over serial ports, either point to point or frame relay.
Let me give you a small little lab that requires 5 routers; Creat a
simulation so that you have two routers connect with a GRE tunnel over the
Internet, and simulate a Internet failure that is between the ISP routers.
Very simple lab, but it requires a minimum of five routers.
If you are going to do any really life like labs you will need to string
several routers together, with several ports each. Right now I have 12
routers in my lab and sometimes come out wishing I had just one or two
more...
As for frame relay, you will want a router or two with at least 4 serial
ports to act as the frame switch.
VoX = VoiceOver IP, Frame Relay, ATM
