I actually used a GRE tunnel over ethernet, but if you want to use the aux
ports, you need to use a rolled cable, just like the one you use to connect
your PC to the console. I do this a lot in my lab. It is a great way to
solve those problems you have when you get to the last router in the setup,
and you don't have any left with the right kind of interface. Every router
has an aux port!! It may be slow, but aux-to-aux adds a lot of flexibility
to your lab. Here is a link to a Cisco whitepaper.

Subject: Two routers Make One Frame Switch

I'm trying to do a lab that requires more frame ports than I have on the
router I use for this purpose. I remember seeing a write-up somewhere about
connecting two routers with some kind of tunnel to make what is effectively
one frame switch. Does anyone know how to do this? Please advise.

Thanks.
