RE: Comments on my Home Lab! [7:7108]
I presume that the 8/16 is flash and memory. If it is then I would say that you need a good few more routers. Although you do configure a token ring switch in the lab I have heard that it is a very minimal config on this. The other switch in use is the cat 5000, so there is no need to have any more switches but plenty need to have at least another 4 routers. My lab has 9 routers and on some of the Bootcamp labs that is just enough. For lab scenarios buy the bootcamp labs there is quite simply no better! -Original Message- From: JC [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 June 2001 18:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Comments on my Home Lab!

RE: Comments on my Home Lab! [7:7108]
You will need to know ISDN very well and Voice. Frame Relay is big so you will need a router with several serial ports, maybe a 2522 or something. You do have a good start there. Keep in mind the lab changes all the time so no one can really tell you for sure what will be on it. You may want to go for a 3640 with Voice on it, although 1750s will work for less.

RE: Comments on my Home Lab! [7:7108]
Think about another two serial interfaces on the 4000M. A router that can be used as a terminal server is good. 2509/2511 are most common. I don't see any ISDN BRI interfaces. You'll want some. 2503 Depending on budget you might want to stay with the 2500 series or spring for the newer 2600s. To do trunking on the Cat5K you'll need a router with a 100 Mbs port. 2620/2621 would do it. To run the newer Enterprise code on the 2500s you will need 16 Flash or use MZMaker.

RE: Comments on my Home Lab! [7:7108]
The FastEthernet module only works on the 4500 & 4700s not on the 4000s. Used prices are high. He'll want multiple serial links on at least one box. The 4000 is a good candidate. he can purchase another two port serial. I'm not sure if the 4000 supports the four port serial module. He might want to purchase an Ethernet module for that box and trade it out with the Token Ring as needed. IMHO If you want a box in the 4000 series don't buy less than a 4500. > -Original Message- > From: Donald B Johnson jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 6:03 PM > To: Daniel Cotts; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Comments on my Home Lab!

JC, Oh, boy, an opportunity for comment. OK, here goes: "Your lab dresses in the manner of a male prostitute." Kidding! Kidding!You need more routers, at least two with ISDN, and possibly token ring (and MAU). I would also look at getting an ISDN simulator... I bit that bullet recently, and the cheapest ISDN simulator I found was $1685. I'd sell the 2924 and get parts for the 5005. Don't blow too much money on a console server: get a CS-516.

RE: Comments on my Home Lab! [7:7108]
Most likely the archives are filled with similar threads. For a limited budget the following four routers would make a good start: 2503 two serial, one Ethernet, one ISDN BRI S/T 2523 two fast serial, eight sync/async serial, one Token Ring, one ISDN BRI S/T 2513, two serial, one Ethernet, one Token Ring 2509, two serial, one Ethernet, eight async serial. It gives a good mix of interfaces. Add an ISDN simulator later. Switches when you are ready. Then time to buy modular routers for FastEthernet, Voice, and etc. > -Original Message- > From: Symon Thurlow [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, June 04, 2001 3:49 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Comments on my Home Lab!

Re: Comments on my Home Lab! [7:7108]
Another cheap console server solution: 1) Buy a cheap x86 box on EBay (Pentium 60/75/whatever with say 32M RAM and a 1G drive) for $30/50. 2) Purchase a Rocketport 8/16 port card on Ebay for $100/125. 3) Install Linux on it and get the drivers from the manufacturer. 4) Use Minicom to console into the routers. Makes a great terminal server plus you can use it as a TFTP server and learn something about Linux while you are at it... Wrote a Bash script a year and half ago that provides menu driven access to the routers (currently have a 2503, 1601, 4000 and door stop.. er um..

wow! Your power bill must be hugh! And your either single or have a really upset wife my wife has a spreadsheet detailing everything that I have purchased for my home lab, price paid, average street price, and number of pairs of shoes she could have bought with the same funds. I told her that she'd be all the rage with a pair of "2500 cardboard box" clogs, or console cables used as laces in her boots...
