2509 was of worth for the old CCIE lab where u need it.... but now this
router is been replaced with
a KNOB SWITCH to get in to each router ... like the printer switch box used
to swtich printer b/w PC.
and for the CCNA/CCNP u really dont need to have it...... this router is
good but also expensive... why waste
money on that u dont want in the lab, the only benefit left with this router
is eight ASYNC ports used for DDR
and stuff... but this u can do it from every router that have an AUX port as
AUX is an ASYNC port too.
I think u should have a router with have atleast 4 serial ports so u can
make that router a frame-relay switch.
and in my opinoin u should buy a 2620 with 4 port serial module... by this u
can have that router act as a
frame-relay switch as it will have 4 serial and also can be used for
inter-vlan routing b/w ur switches....
That will be a complete lab for CCIE level except token-ring switching and
ATM.
enjoy ....
