Justin, The lab I use is at work, and I need remote access to it to do labs at home. I use a Linux PC with a Moxa PCI serial port card (8 serial ports). With the 2 built-in serial ports, I can connect to 10 Cisco devices. I have users set up so that when user R1 logs in via SSH the console window immediately appears...
I looked around and found it to be much more cost effective than purchasing a used 2509, as well as far more functional since it also serves as a source of traffic. I also have home-grown scripts to automate the downloading and archiving of router configs/network topology which is nice. Anyway, that's what worked for me. - Tom Justin Clark wrote: > I currently have 3 2501 routers and a 1924 switch. I use them as a study > lab but when I'm not using it, it just sits there.
