RE: CCNP and future CCIE lab setup [7:73696]
I honestly do not know what you are referring to. A plug on one side and a jack on the other? I am probably missing something simple but nothing rings a bell!!! Of course, I am a girl from Thailand and maybe my "slang" English is not up to par. Hee hee Can you please explain what that is about?

RE: CCNP and future CCIE lab setup [7:73696]
I think he is referring to a RJ45 jack on one end, and a RJ45 connector on the other, so that you can turn a normal patch cable into a cross-over cable. I'd actually suggest plugging all of the router Ethernet ports into a switch so that you can create VLANs and match two routers up in an ad-hoc kind of way remotely...

RE: CCNP and future CCIE lab setup [7:73696]
You have a great start. Let's consider what you have. The 2500s are great. In time, you will want to load an Enterprise version of IOS. That requires 16 MB Flash and 16 MB DRAM. There are many sources of third party DRAM and Flash - check the archives. You didn't say if the 2600s had any WIC cards. Two WIC-1Ts in each would be great. I recently bought several at an average price of $50 each. Just be patient. Again, verify how much Flash and DRAM you need for all your routers to run the images you want. Back-to-back serial cables. Again several sources. I have purchased from Bob Lowery, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Good prices and great service. Length depends on how you group your routers. Three foot (one meter) is handy if the routers are close together. Six foot or ten foot might also be useful. Ethernet cables. You'll want some crossover cables. May I suggest making some very short ones with a plug on one end and a jack on the other. Then add a regular patch cord of the desired length to meet your needs. Consider racking your equipment. Besides the full height racks you may have at work, there are short portable racks made for musicians. The rack is part of a shipping container. The discussions about these on groupstudy indicated they were quite reasonably priced. If you start with Routing, I would think that you have everything you need. I'll assume, without checking, that the 8 A/S module has DB-60 interfaces. Later when you do Remote Access an ISDN simulator would be a great addition. CCO has many resources. There are many great books. Consider some of those mentioned often on the list.

"May I suggest making some very short ones with a plug on one end and a jack on the other." Make it at least 1 meter if you want to be in spec...

RE: CCNP and future CCIE lab setup [7:73696]
I think they're suggesting that you make a short cross-over male to female cable (instead of the standard male to male patch cable). The idea being that you could still use your standard patch cables and where a cross-over cable was required and simply connect the short cross-over to one end. Does this clear it up for you or are you more confused? ~~ R.

CCNP and future CCIE lab setup [7:73696]
Like the other person previously... I am trying to build a lab. I am personally starting my Cisco track but I have recieved some routers from my work. I personally have 2-2501, 3-2503, 1-2504, 1-as2511-rj(which I dont know how to use), 1-2611, 1-2612, 1-3640 w/ 8 a/s module: 2ME-2W module: 4-port ISDN Bri module (dont know module name), 2-2912, 1-2950. Can you also give me any suggestions? Larus has mentioned a backbone router but isnt the 3640 sufficient? Overall... is there anything else that i need to improve this other than 3550 switches which are way out of my budget!!!?
