Hello all! My home lab is growing and I am thinking of sharing it with others. It is still not a full CCIE lab environment but most things can be done in it. My question: Is there any need among others to use remote labs like mine? I am thinking of for a small donation (a fraction of the cost of hiring proctorlabs or gears like that) others that works towards the ccie security certifications can use my gear while I am busy with other stuff.
Current setup: 5 x c1821 with advanced ip services ios. 2+8 Ethernet-ports each. 3 of these connected. 2 x ASA5505 base/10 users. One with v8.2 and one with v8.4 but this can easily be changed. 2 x ASA5510 with Security Plus licenses. All 4 interfaces connected and the Management0-ports cross-connected for failover. 4 x c2960 all cross-connected (2 FastEthernet-cables between each). 3 x c3750 with Lan Base image (routing). All gear above is statically connected like any other remote gear. All gear console ports can be reachable via telnet over internet after an authentication proxy authentication. The gear have outbound internet access. The gear have native ipv6-connectivity with a routed /48 All gear can be remotely powered on/of via a web page I am thinking of adding an ACS 4.x as well as maybe an qemu-based IPS since the lab also have an ESXi-server attached. I guess that I then will make it possible to revert these VM:s to unconfigured snapshots. What do you guys say? Is there an interrest in using this rack among others or should I just keep studying and focus on my own studies instead of fooling around with making my lab remotely accessible? :-) Best regards Jimmy -- ------- Jimmy Larsson Ryavagen 173 s-26030 Vallakra Sweden http://blogg.kvistofta.nu -------
