haha...touche, chuck! no, this is seriously going to be my first time. i've done a lot of research, and am modeling my lab around the needs of the "CCIE Practical Studies Vol. 1" book by Karl Solie. I figure, how can I model my lab more accurately than if I do so from Cisco's book itself? i am also using all my research from this group, as well as any internet-based research i can find on the subject...
anyway, good point about the "good, cheap, accurate..." deal. i guess i'd say "cheap/accurate" is my requirement. anyway, thanks for your response. i'm wondering if i overwhelmed everyone with too much info. maybe i should focus on one at a time. therefore... ...ATM: for all your presale engineers out there...if i was to put together an ATM lab with two ATM routers and 1 ATM switch, what would you purchase as a minimum requirement while still being able to use all the features that the lab would require? so far, i am thinking LS1010 with CAM/PAM and the two routers with ATM interfaces are up in the air. i was thinking of OC-3 interfaces all around, but even those are expensive. can i use a T1 or ATM25 or T3 (etc.) interface to cut my costs? would that mess up my lab environment? thanks, and PLEASE help me out, here. i can see there are some well-educated people on this list... ed -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Chuck Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 10:50 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ATM and Voice [7:39849] unless you've already been through the lab, how do you know just how accurate your emulation is? ;-> to paraphrase someone smarter than me, good, cheap, accurate lab emulation - you can only have two. :-> ""Edward Sohn"" wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > hello > > after much research, i can't figure out a way to get cheap voice/ATM > combo routers to cut my costs. does anyone have any suggestions as to > how i can get ATM AND VoIP in my home lab. i want to purchase > everything myself, but at the same time, i want to do so in a way that > i can save money in the process. for example, (assuming i have a > lightstream switch) if i get a 3600 router with voice and ATM > installed, it will be well over $4K for each router with all those > interfaces. however, if i combine an MC3810 with voice and a 4000 with > ATM, i can cut my costs. but with this latter situation, will i still > be able to practice VoATM effectively? i really want to ACCURATELY > model a lab after cisco's CCIE lab environment. how can i do this > with the voice and ATM components? > > thanks in advance for your replies. btw, renting telnet access and or > going to another lab is not an option for me. > > thanks, > > eddie > > [GroupStudy.com removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a > name of > Notebook.jpg] _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
