Well fellow cisco disciples (older meaning of students implied)
I am being given the following equipment to work out a Lab design. The list
below is what I have on site now. I know that some pieces are missing,
specifically anything that will work with ATM or Gig E. IOS is not an issue,
I have access to CCO and permission level to download anything I want.
What pieces would you recommend ? I want to be sure I request equipment that
will give me the most bang for the the buck widest possible (I do have to be
reasonable) range for experimentation as I move towards the CCIE (maybe two
years, i'm a slow learner).
Here is the List of what I have now.
Catayst 5500 with Sup III and 24 port 10/100 Blade AC Power
Cisco 3810 (inc, FXX, FXS (3 ports each) Ethernet BRI and an Multifuntion T1
mod
serial sync ports)
2 - Cisco 3640 each equipped with : 2 Ethernet 2, Token Ring, 2 WIC 1T
2 - Cisco 2620 each equipped with : 1 WIC 1T , 2FXO, 2 FXS
2 - Cisco 2520 (Fixed Configs)
1 - Cisco 2513 (Fixed Configs)
1 - Cisco 2511 (Fixed Configs)
1 - Cisco 1750 ( Fixed Config)
Also I have three NT servers, two Running IPX, One Linux server (Syslog), 13
individual laptops (133Mhz) to use as user pcs. A laptop with Sniffer Pro is
also included with each lab and two licenses for Sniffer, to run on remote
Users for testsing and Troubleshooting.
I am in process of picking up some older IBM TR Nics and 4 MAU's
I also have one Cisco 2800 series hub.
Now For the embarassing part. I hate to ask a question without you knowing
I've thought about it.
Below Is what I think would be my idea to complete this lab scenario.
Begin with a Lightstream 1010 (4 OC-3 Ports) and two 2912MF-XL with OC-3 ATM
Modules.
I would add 4 2610 Cisco routers as a flexible addition, also acquiring 4
each of the following modules for the 2600 series. 2 port serial (high), 1
ort ISDN U, 1 Port ISDN BRI S/T, 1 port ethernet, 4 port ethernet (only 2),
4port ISDB BRI S/T, 1 port channelized T1 (Only 2)
I would acquire the Adtran ISDN simulator.
Now it's your turn tell me my loopholes and mistakes. What can I take out,
and what should I add.
By the way I am being given four BRI lines (actually two in Illinois and two
in Indiana) So I can have separate locations and play with the local
telcos. In the near future there will be between 4-8 more similiar labs
across the USA, I get to be one of the first .
