Free: Large rack (Seattle area) [7:53892]

I have a full-size four-post server rack, that used to house my routers. It won't fit in the new house, so it's now unhappily sitting outside on the deck. This is a large cabinet-style rack, used to have front/rear doors on it. Free to whoever wants to drive to North Bend and rescue it from the

Catalyst switches online

In an earlier post I described several Catalyst switches I am selling. Until the deal closes, they'll be online for folks to play with. Keep in mind that if this becomes a PITA, I'll simply unplug the whole pile of them. If it seems to work well, I will hook up the rest of the rack for remote acc

OT: AIX route add

Okay, way off topic, as far as Unix configs might apply to Cisco, but at least it's about network-layer stuff. On an AIX box, how can I add static route statements, directing traffic to a specific interface? And, once added, can I make them applicable after an IPL/reboot? My Problem: An AIX se

FS: Cat 5000/2901 switches from my lab

After re-organizing my lab, I find I have too many older Catalyst switches. If someone's in need of them, I'd sure like to free up some space (and buy some other toys). These are located in the Seattle area, so a local buyer would be ideal, otherwise I can package and ship. I will hook them up f

RE: TACACS and Telnet

Kerberized telnet is supported in some feature sets, since 11.2, maybe earlier. You can also use the Kerberos mechanism to do SSO (sign on to the Kerberos server, and use Kerberos credentials to connect to all your routers, without logging in (into an enabled session, if you like). MIT Kerberos

RE: Flash DRAM IOS

Sure, you could pull the flash entirely, or put IP-only for basic functionality on a minimum size flash. Considering how relatively expensive flash memory is, and how cheap (most) DRAM is, most student labs probably do exactly that -- or compress the IOS image on a 2500 series to conserve flash s

RE: boot rom upgrades

Title: RE: boot rom upgrades The other thing to buy will be a PLCC extractor, to get the boot roms out of their little homes.  You could probably use two small screwdrivers, but if you're as talented as me, you'll break stuff getting them out (they're in there pretty solidly).  They are the tw

RE: Voice for lab

Title: RE: Voice for lab There's an 800 series DSL box with built-in voice ports, the 827-4v.  Wouldn't two of those serve as a voice lab, with traffic going over the ethernet ports?  Should be able to buy two new ones for under $1500 total.  I know that the config examples and scenarios show

RE: PLCC Tool

Title: RE: PLCC Tool I found the PLCC tool at Radio Shack -- took a few minutes to find it, but it was there.  I don't remember how much is cost, but it works much better than trying to pry the chips out with screwdrivers. -jon- -Original Message- From: Lori S Carter [mailto:[EMAIL

Sync serial modem

A few months ago, I bought a synchronous serial modem from one of the list members.  A Penril Alliance v.32 box, with a normal-looking DB-25 RS-232 connector on the back, marked "DTE".  The manual says the modem is connected to the DTE device to the DTE connection.   I now want to hook it u

RE: Watchdog restart...(anybody?)

Title: RE: Watchdog restart...(anybody?) I saw a similar event on one of my AIX boxes a few weeks ago.  It stopped for no particular reason, except the watchdog timer had expired.  Re-booted via power cycle, and it hasn't committed the error, since. -jon- -Original Message- From: [E

RE: Cisco virtual lab

Title: RE: Cisco virtual lab I used it for the DV Routing protocols CIM.  It worked quite well for me, dunno if dial-up users have problems downloading.  The labs run within a Java window, and real-audio segments coach you through the steps.  It's not super-in-depth, but it takes you to a bas

Title: WTD: 2 x 4Mb flash for 2500s Anyone who's recently dropped bigger flash chips into their 2500 want to unload a pair of 4mb chips? I need to bring a pair of 2502's up to 8mb, and I thought I'd ask here for scraps no one is using, before I bought a few new ones from www.MemoryX.net. -j
