CCIE Practice lab & ISDN
Hello, I am going to be taking out a loan and buying a CCIE practice lab early next month. I have a question about ISDN in a CCIE practice lab. I have an ISDN line at home which I use for Internet access. Is 1 Cisco isdn router enough for purposes of lab practice? Or is it a good idea to have 2 ISDN routers and an ISDN simulator to configure both ends of an ISDN connection? In this type of scenario is the money spent on an ISDN simulator better spent in other areas?

Re: CCIE Practice lab & ISDN
I'm at a similar crossroad, not enough money to buy everything, and no ISDN service in my country. Plus, with the cost of the simulator, I can buy a big router at ebay (or from you). Based on the labs I've been browsing, ISDN doesn't seem that important. Would you say I absolutely have to have an ISDN sim, I mean it's just ONE link in an otherwise pretty big scenario. Maybe I can get by with online racks? They all have ISDN even the cheapest ones. Thanks!

Eric, I am in the same ship as you are and seriously thinking of taking 2 (TWO!) BRI lines at home with SEPARATE d-channels, because the telco takes shortcuts on that one. I am building my lab for CCNP and CCIE (If heaven supports me) I have been studying Caslows book, Cisco press CCIE Design and case studies, and I think you really need to go for 2 lines or a full SIMULATOR (group has discussed that one enough) of about 2000$. With this cert, practice is the key, not the cramming I'm used to. my .02c as a beginner Martijn Jansen MCP 18x CCNA -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Namens Eric Gunn Verzonden: woensdag 24 januari 2001 1:08 Aan: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Onderwerp: CCIE Practice lab & ISDN Hello, I am going to be taking out a loan and buying a CCIE practice lab early next month.

> you really need to go for 2 lines or a full SIMULATOR (group has discussed > that one enough) of about 2000$. And on that note, I think the Cisco 2520 is the best router for the money. It does isdn, ethernet and 4 serial connections (two high-speed, two low). These are the routers that I'm planning on for my lab. I have the good fortune of working for a company that has a dormant ISDN line that they keep around for nostalgia. So all I have to get is one ISDN at the house to complete my loop. It seems to me that a $2000 simulator is pricey compared to a couple of months with 2 ISDN lines, but then if you can't get the service, there aren't many other options.

Eric, Hi! You definitely want (2) ISDN routers to simulate ISDN properly. -B "Eric Gunn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > Hello, > I am going to be taking out a loan and buying a CCIE practice lab early > next month. > I have a question about ISDN in a CCIE practice lab.
